Feeling Betrayed

***Long post***

So I’m new to this app, but I need some unbiased opinions. My fiancé and I have been engaged for 8 months and we plan to get married in August later this year. He’s been in college ever since I’ve known him and now he’s a year from graduating. Upon him being so close to finishing he gets a job in his career. Which is great, because he needs the experience. As far as the job goes, he has crazy hours so he works until late at night, which means I never get to see him because I work a regular office job. In all this together he has a lot of anxiety and depression issues that have come along in the last 6 months or so. He’s on medication and is trying to work through it. We’re pretty good about communication and have just started living together in the last 4 months. We’re always used to just paying for our own things it’s been difficult (more for him) to be open about finances. Moral of the story is I’m sick today with the flu so I stayed home, and as I woke up I feel him next to me in the bed, as he was supposed to go to school today. He’s been stressed about work and told me a couple nights ago that he’s close to quitting school for this semester because it’s stressing him out trying to work and be in school. I gave him my thoughts on it and told him that he needs to talk to his work because he’s supposed to be PART TIME and he’s working more than I do. I have a full time job and work the 40 hours a week. He really likes his job and I think he’s too scared to talk with them because he doesn’t want to lose it. Which I get but he’s letting them take advantage of him because he’s only getting paid a part time position. I would just like to know what other people’s thoughts are on this because I feel betrayed as in not necessarily being lied to, but not letting me in on all the truth. We’re supposed to be a team, and I feel like I’ve been pulling the weight for a long time now. (We’ve been together for 3 1/2 years all together) I just feel like it isn’t fair to me because I’ve been trying to process this my own way and be more independent because I now see him only 1 day a week that he has off. I feel like he’s already dropped out of school and just hasn’t told me. I’m not the prying type because he’s an adult and can make his own decisions but it’s coming to a point where I feel betrayed and lied to and I just want him to succeed. If anyone has any advice, please feel free to voice your opinion. Thank you 💕
