Well, things in my life are really looking up: I'm leaving my job soon to go back to school, I got a big grant to pay for school, I have a great new boyfriend, etc.
Problem is, I can barely see my boyfriend these days. I work days and he works evenings, so that only leaves the weekend. During the weekend he does his best to see me and find time to see his son too. He barely gets to see his friends.
He is also having money problems, to the point where he is considering finding a second job to make ends meet for the next few weeks. I know the money problems really stress him out. To add to that, he has chronic pain and insomnia.
I just feel so bad for him. He does his best not to let these things affect me, but I can't help it. I hate seeing him so stressed out. And I hate not being able to see him more.
I offered to lend him money but he said he loved me too much to risk having money come between us.
He has been looking for a new job for a few weeks now (he has the qualification to get a much better job than what he has now) but no luck yet. Once he finds a good job (one where he will work days and make enough money to start saving), things will be a lot less stressful for him.
I don't want to let him know how sad I am about all this because it will only add to his stress. I feel so lonely and powerless.
