Lawyers, like doctors, tend to be "hazed" in their profession. What this means is that they're worked extra hard, extra long hours, to see if they're "worthy" of being an actual lawyer or doctor. You said before that your bf was going to law school, well this is the sort of thing that happens afterward, he gets a job as the paralegal for the nastiest lawyer in the firm, and is worked to the bone, to see if he's worthy. Sometimes the work doesn't end even after he gets the corner office, I've heard of lawyers working 21 hours a day! To be a corporate lawyer, it consumes your life. If you can't handle that, and the divorce rate for lawyers is sky high, you'll have to get another bf.

I agree, if need you someone who puts his family first, before his job, you need another bf.

I know a lawyer like that--he is really smart and could make two or three times what he gets now, but runs his own little business and calls all the shots. He has two really bright kids that went to really good schools.

Hopefully you will get to see more of him soon. Either way. Try to stay positive!

Okay. I'll try.

P.S. He doesn't want to be a lawyer, just a paralegal. I don't want to break up either. I just wanted support and to see if I can make this work. It'd be easier if we lived closer. >.<

We're working a plan out to see each other sometime this weekend. Hopefully it works. ^.^

EDIT: Nevermind. It'll be too complicated this weekend and he really needs to rest anyway. Hopefully next weekend will work out. If not, he is definitely free for the Halloween party the following weekend. :)
