We want to hear from you!
I agree with the statement that the couple should be working through these issues together. When I was engaged, I had just finished grad school and was looking for a job. I couldn’t find a job and NOAA actually offered me a job, but I would of had to go out on a boat for two years of training. I presented the opportunity to my fiance’ and she said it’s either me or the boat. If the opportunity was more important, I would have chosen the boat, but my future wife was more important and we were getting married in about a year, so I chose my wife. If this is really a problem for the young lady, the young man may have to make a choice. That may not be fair, but it’s reality.
