advice on my engagement?

So I am engaged right? well when I became engaged to my fiance, I told her that It was going to be a long engagement because I wanted to be sure that we were financially stable and done with college (makes sense to me) but I wanted to assure her that I wanted to be with her forever and always.

Well lately all we fight about are two things.

the first thing is the date/details of the wedding. I could care less as long as it is after we are done with college (another 2 years) but she wants it now or within the year. I can't even see that as a possibility because of my financial situation and her lack of a job.

the other thing we have been fighting about is college. I want to be a youth pastor and go to a bible college (you have to go to one to be a pastor these days) she isn't sure what she wants to do, but she is leaning towards counseling or teaching. She wants to follow me to college. Her reasoning is that it doesn't matter where she gets a degree. But I think it is because she doesn't trust me to go out by myself, thinking i will leave her. Fact of the matter is, it will affect her career options in the future, but she doesn't believe me.

I am her total support right now, emotionally and financially (like I said, no job) it is starting to take its toll. I have gone into debt for her (damn credit cards) I have given up great opportunities already, like a study abroad in Israel for the summer last year, I have missed trips to places with friends because I had to use my money for her and I have only my internet friends to really communicate my emotional trials to, which in my opinion is sad.

Should I just bare with her or break off the engagement? All of her friends are my friends and vice a versa, how would this effect them?

I am just so confused on what to do


I am going to give you my opinion and I hope you take into heart. You need to cool it with her and let her go. Do you even realize that this girl is bringing you down? Your companion supposes to up lift you and she is not. And also, how are you going to be a pastor saying that word. She is already a bad influence on you. Do you not realize that you are her meal ticket and it is like you are in a daze and only see her. You need a life and she is holding you back.

Avoid Debt Management Scams | Debt Control Success

Anyone who has paid attention to the mounting credit card crisis afflicting modern Americans should not be surprised by the sudden explosion of debt management firms in the last decade. The debt management industry has grown exponentially over the past few years, assisting any number of borrowers with their financial burdens, but, as with any new business that concerns itself with debt and credit cards, a breed of predatory debt service ‘professionals’ seek only to exploit the economically desperate households by promising savings they could never deliver and sometimes even defrauding them altogether. Scam artists are an unfortunate consequence of any profession, and the debt relief industry is no better or worse. However, since word of mouth and a reputation for honesty and competence can make or break a company – especially a finance company – these nefarious loan workers don’t last long. However, just in case you’re unlucky enough to meet one of the less reputable debt management workers, here are a few tips to identify the worst sort.
