So here's the issue. BF just got this great job at Caterpillar and I was totally on board and I still am. He gets paid so much more and he is actually happy, which makes me happy. His family was completely against the job because it's making him postpone his education (which he has NO interest in at all). Me and my family are so proud of him for getting this job.
He's been there for less than two weeks and he is trying to get benefits, which he might get in the next couple of months. He's working every opportunity he can and that's cutting into our time together. He has the opportunity to work 7 days a week (Sat and Sun are optional) and he wants to do that! I'm not OK with that, because that's a whole week I wouldn't be able to see him (assuming I would even see him the next weekend).
We live an hour away from each other (I think that's considered long-distance relationship?) so we don't see each other more than a few times a week anyway. But last night when we were talking he told me that he wasn't going to come up on Sunday because we WANTS to work. We already made plans for Saturday, we're going out for dinner, but Sunday he was going to come too. Now he's not. It blew up into a fight and I feel terrible.
On one hand, I know better because he's trying to make more money quickly so he can pay the money he owes his parents. He told me that I of all people should know that there's going to be so much time in the future. (When he said that, I felt like an idiot)
But on the other hand, I'm going to transfer to Chicago (for school) in Jan. which is going to make seeing each other even harder than it is now. So, I figured we should spend time with each other.
I don't know. I guess what I'm asking is, Was I wrong to be all upset about his job when I was the one to push him to try for it? Any advice or feedback is appreciated!
