So I know this forum is semi-biased so I'm going to attempt to present this in a clear way.
Facts:
- getting married in June
- future wife is graduating college in March, no job (outside of work study)
**also, she has to move out of college apartment in March (which was paid for by financial aid, & she will either have to move back home or move into another apartment, but barely has enough now for security deposit & rent, FH has offered to help)
- future husband graduated a couple years ago. is currently a paramedic & has applied for med schools (plans to start in fall)
- FW's parents are paying for most of the wedding.
- FW & FH plan to pay about $1,800.
- FH has nagged FW about all the expenses & has said they shouldn't go out, etc so they can save money.
Problem:
- FH wants to volunteer in Haiti, FW does not support this at this time because they are in transition for the next 4 months
- FH applied to a program but didn't think they were accepting volunteers
- He was accepted, will be leaving for 2 weeks at the end of February
- He has to pay out of pocket to go over there. AT LEAST $1,000.
FW is pissed. She doesn't think they can afford it PLUS he has been going on & on about how she shouldn't be spending money on this & that (for their wedding).
so what do you think? should he go?
EDIT: Apparently she made a deal w/ him that he can only go one week, not two.
