I broke up with Jack. I dated a few guys but they didn't work out. Ended up getting back together with Jack.

Have you thought about emailing Dr. Harley?
Email your questions to Joyce Harley at mbradio@marriagebuilders.com. When your email question is chosen to be answered on the radio show, you will be notified by email directing you to listen to the rebroadcast. If you would like to consider being a caller, include your telephone number. You will be called by us to explain the procedure to you. Every caller will receive a complementary book by Dr. Harley that addresses their question.

Too much hurt and pain on both sides that my brain hurts just thinking about it all.

Have you talked to Jack about your need for him to be more financially sound before you would agree to marry him?
It sounds like Financial Commitment is a big EN for you. If he is not willing to negotiate a solution to this problem and find a job that would be more in line with your need for FC, this will affect your marriage and your lovebank for him in the long run. I would talk to him about this need and the kind of lifestyle you want to enjoy as a married couple, and work together to resolve this NOW before you get married.
I would NOT get married and just expect this to resolve itself, or think that you can just overlook it.

Dr Harley does not advise people to decide how worthy they are, and then sacrifice and accept less to balance that. Telling a poster that she is not as worthy and should just learn to appreciate what she has, is not in line with Dr Harley's advice.
