I'm a dude and I say good for you.
The CPA exam, albeit a pain in the butt, is lightweight stuff compared to some of the stuff that life has thrown my way in 20 years of marriage (been together 26 years total)….and I am only 29! 😀 Okay maybe a little older than 29 :D. We met in High School so we have been through the struggles of college, starting careers, changing careers, kids, work and kids, layoffs, money being tight, deaths of loved ones, etc. The CPA exam is NOTHING compared to some of the things you will experience in life.
I can say that if this dolt is going to run off just because you aren’t doting on him all the time, then so be it. You are better off without him, just make sure you don’t let him back in when he realizes the grass isn’t greener on the other side and comes crawling back.
I tell my son and daughter that a) you can’t fix broken people and b) life is hard, you need someone who will stand with you through the thick and thin and never stray.
