You mentioned that she lives 4 hours away and has a child of her own. The "point of her" is that he loves her. Her not driving up to help him in the hospital is not unreasonable. I would actually consider it irresponsible for her to drive up in the middle of the night with her young child. You sound like you really just don't like her. Have you ever met her?[/quote]

+1 You actually don't know her situation.  She may have family nearby but they may not look kindly on her dropping off her kid for days to see her not quite fiancé in the hospital for something that isn't life or death when he has a support sytem nearby.  You don't know her money situation to even afford this and it would be awkward to say, I can come, but you need to pay for my gas etc.  As for career or lack thereof, her situation may be one that suits your friend. There are guys that need to be the knight in shining armor.  Or maybe she will stay home with the kids and if and when the nursing career/school happens the hours will be flexible enough she can still do a lot of the afternoon stuff with the kids.  There are split of things that I see like the DH that travels all the time or works insane hours and personally I can't imagine what kind of money he would need to make or what outsourcing I would need for it to be worth it to me.  But other couples are not us, and they value different things and make different compromises and choices than I would make.  And that's okay.  As long as they feel it works for them, that is really all that matters.[/quote]
