I've officially set up camp....

sarahkuretz · June 2010

...in Crazy Town.

I've lost it ladies. Working two jobs has finally taken it's toll. Besides the other obvious stress we all endure, this one set me over the edge. I have no me time. I cannot quit job 2 because this is what is padding our wedding fund. I don't know what triggered it (besides seeing FI only an hour a night during the week and having busy busy weekends) I convinced myself FI is not happy with me anymore. Like I said...welcome to Crazy Town....

Just needed that vent. I feel a bit better : )

ah i'm so sorry...FI worked two jobs and went to school for like a month and couldn't do it. He quit one job...he really needed it, but he just wasn't getting any sleep, wasn't seeing me (and I know I didn't help being bratty about not seeing him).

I hope things get easier for you...in fact I know they will...you'll have an amazing wedding and you just need to remind yourself that.

I am sorry that you are stressed out. I know how it is having 2 jobs, b/c I do too. I don't really need to be but I have a hard time giving up my discount and the fact I am scared to death of not having enough money to pay for things!

Good luck. Maybe the 2 of you need to have a special date night!

Sorry you are feeling this way! i bet it's a lot. FI and I are both thinking about getting second jobs to help the wedding fund. We are doing OK with our wedding budget but we aren't saving for anything else at the moment, which scares me.

oh no... well its only 4 short months away. you can do it. I know its hard but hard work pays off. I would definitely try to work it out in both your schedule for you two time. Busy weekend or not, you can push aside time to just be with each other.

I feel for ya. I'm sooo sorry.

I'm so sorry that you are stressed out. The pp is right, you are so close! These last few months will be over before you know it and then you can return to 1 job. Just hang in there!

I know what its like working two jobs and not seeing FI. itshard but in the end its worth it. Right now FI is now workign 6 days a week and I am workign and extra 4 each week. not quite the same but we still barely see each other but we know that in the end the wedding will be worth it and after we will have plent of time together.
Hang in there you can do it. Only 4 months left! and vent away

Hi--I'm totally new around here, and most of the reason I decided to come check out the Knot was to see that there are actually people out there with insanely busy real lives who manage to pull off weddings on top of everything else--so I'm soo relieved to be not alone.

I've been working 2 jobs for the last 2 years to pay for a ton of not-cool things (like the much-needed renovation that currently has our house in shambles), and just last week I was thisclose to quitting one! Mostly becaue I was putting the jobs ahead of my sanity and my relationship. My 2 cents is, the end is in sight, you can make it! But never forget that the jobs are replaceable, and your FI is definitely not! (Or at least I hope not!

) So do whatever you can fit in time to remember how it should be between you two, and why you're going through everything you are.

Aww, I'm sorry that you're feeling so bad! My FI works a lot in the summers - just about 7 days a week/ 12 - 14 hours a day. It's really hard b/c even when we see each other, he's really tired. I keep trying to remind myself that he's working hard for us and our future, which is exactly what you are doing

I'm sure your FI appreciates all that you are doing. Maybe try to schedule a date night (or maybe just a lunch if that's all you can fit in...but unplug the phones and just focus on the two of you!)

Good luck...keep your head up!

I am frequent visitor of Crazy Town but usually work has chauffeured me there.... I am so sorry you are feeling this way. There is light at the end of your tunnel, try to keep that in mind and make the most of the time that you and your fl do have together.

Hang in there! I've had my share of thoughts that were from crazy town! I think every now and then a visit isn't bad...so maybe you don't want to sign a lease yet in crazy town!

sarahkuretz · June 2010

Thank you all so much! This place truly is a God send.

FI and I had a talk Tuesday night and I feel much better.He was very supportive and made me like I had ahold of my situation (the craziness). I told him I would stick to both jobs as long as I could. I feel like myself again.... for now ; )

Sorry to all of you who are putting up with the same stress!!!

I've officially set up camp....
