I would think relationship is more important than $$. It takes time and heart to cultivate a relationship. It is very fragile and can be spoiled very easily. Being apart for such long periods is not healthy for any couple. Be careful he or you may develop an outside marital relationship with someone else. It is very easy these days, especially when you and him feel lonely and when someone else shows care and concern it is not surprising that we may be attracted.
Afterall we don't know what will happen tomorrow, why not treasure today, and the time you two can be together??!! If he is smart he will sure get another good job.
Another thing, if a man likes bb, you'd better think twice about the decision not to have one. Don't regret when you get older and cannot have one then. I heard too many stories about this.
