[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. To answer a few questions. No, we will not leave the country. No, his parent didn't co-sign.
Wedding won't be for at least a couple years, and money will definitely factor into possibly waiting even later than that. Kids are not on my/our radar right now. 
He absolutely needs a second job.  I don't want to give details here of what his degree was in and what his job is now. [b]But, he has a BA and a masters from a state school, with a lot of relevant experience using those degrees (internships and teaching), but ultimately chose to work somewhere in a somewhat entry-level position that pertains to what he wants to go back to school for.[/b] Sorry to be so obscure about it- I already feel bad airing our dirty laundry on DCUM. 
I know there's a few factors here. Including aspects of our personalities, past relationship issues, current relationship dynamics, mismatched finances etc-- that could be a few different posts so I'll spare you.

You see this right here, that I have bolded? That is a massive red flag. You don't take on $100 k of debt and then change your mind about what you want to do until after you have paid that debt off. It is like going to law school and then deciding you want to be an actor when you have $400K in debt.

Our choices in this world are constrained, and sometimes we have to commit to things that we don't really want to. If he doesn't understand that, then why do you think he is marriage material?[/quote]
