so nobody going to bring up the fact that OP has commitment issues? he couldn't commit to the first best buy job, couldnt commit to the army - straight decided he was "done" and now he bounces on his wife when she hits him with the :usure: after he says he wants to go work for best buy again.

only on the coli
:ohhh:

No shade breh, but $12.50 an hour? :why:

I kind of have to side with her. if I was your homie, id probably tell you the same thing.

congrats on being manager, but please enlighten us on whats so great about being manager at best buy? I mean it kind of has that "Im manager at mcdonalds" type of vibe to it...like what you making? $17/hr? c'mon man. it sounds like you overreacted. It not like she left you when she found out where you wanted to work. she just asked you a question and you ready to throw her in the bushes

I could understand if you wanted to be a musician, or an athelete, or anything profession that you had dreams of being and she shytted on you...

but I refuse to believe you had dreams of becoming manager at best buy :stopitslime:

Maybe you just need to give us more details of this situation, because from what you posted, you sound irrational.

your happiness is definately more important, but I'm just lost at how something like that could make you unhappy.

You'd be surprised though, bro. Retail managers can make some solid money depending on the chain.

For example, for Best Buy:

Food for thought, but I agree with your sentiments. Because I'm sure the top manager salaries are based on accrual of years and years on the job. Not the newly hired manager who just started 6 months ago.

Peace

You are totally ignoring so many other variables..Life just isn't simple and clean like that..You have children, daycare, in laws, higher insurance and numerous other things that don't fit into that tiny box..

What if you get married and one of you loses an income do to downsizing or layoffs and you are forced to support two adults on one income in a shrinking economy? What if you still have to help her/him pay their student loans while they look for work so it doesn't effect BOTH of your credit scores?

What if you both have good jobs, but she gets pregnant and God forbid its a special needs child with astronomical healthcare and childcare costs? Or what if you just get blessed with healthy twins or triplets?

Or you can be like me and get married to a girl from New Orleans 2 weeks before Katrina hits and you find yourself with 20 extended family members in your new small 2 bedroom home...

These are the type of things that nobody that's single has to worry about.. I think a lot of young people (especially educated ones) fall into that Jay-Z/Beyonce fantasy where you get your bread, stack it on top of her bread and build this successful Black kingdome of working professionals...Naw breh.. Married life STAYS throwing you curve balls..The only expectation you should have is that yall will always have each other's backs..

I never said life was simple however you're still in a good position to win with two incomes and one set of bills and that should be the focus.

Let's be for real, while some of things you mentioned - job loss, weather related displacement, etc cannot be controlled many people are losing financially in marriage because of things they can control. Buying a larger house when your current is under water, having more children when you're struggling with the ones you have, financing cars and generally spending more than you are able save.

Just like I have individual financial goals, I would hope married couples have joint financial goals like paying down debt and putting money in an emergency fund to cover for life's hiccups. That may even mean the BOTH of you working 2 jobs the first few years of marriage to get you on better financial footing. I still stand by what i said...if you leave the marriage with less than what you came in something went horribly wrong.

Got married two years ago at 26. I have known her for the past ten years actually since High School. Thought I was doing the smart thing by marrying someone I've known for awhile but as the age old saying goes, you never really know a person until you LIVE with that person...
I swear to god your situation is the same as mine with my ex wife down to being in the military. I've been divorced for like 5 years though. I was married for almost 4 years. shyt is going to be rough my G. I asked for the divorce in my situation as well. Don't get lost out there homie. When I got free I was in a place where I was making way more money than I had before and I was 30 so I was fukking with bytches who saw me as a meal ticket having a decent job and not having kids at my advance age LOL. shyt got super crazy. I settled down now though got me a younger chick who I'm going to marry eventually.

Yet it's the #1 cause of divorce :manny:

lol

Marriage doesn't cause divorce.
You just have to be married to get divorced.

I mean that's like saying Life is the cause of Death.

I hear ya..

But you haven't mentioned children ONE time in your scenarios..That changes almost everything..On so many levels I can't even begin to explain


And as far as your last statement.. Stuff goes HORRIBLY WRONG all the time in life..It's actually more of a rule than an exception..

I agree you should be able to build together with a good partner.. But that can't be the goal or expectation...Because honestly, I feel I can grind harder without the "distraction" of wife and family.. I've had to sacrifice...
