Today, I found out less than 3 weeks before my wedding my fiancé will lose his new, great paying job unless we cancel our nonrefundable honeymoon. FML

Well, OP, which will be most benefitial in the long run? It sucks that it's non-refundable and all, but you might be able to persuade them to change the dates or something.

YDI...well, rather HE deserves it...for not informing the employers during the interview process that this honeymoon would occur. My husband and I were both job hunting before our weddings, and our future employers (yes, we got the jobs) were told during our interviews that we were getting married and taking a honeymoon.

Meh, am I the only one who thinks that if he choses the job over the honeymoon it means he'll ALWAYS put the job before their relationship? if that boss can't understand the fact that your fiancé's going on a HONEYMOON and that it's an important thing, well, it means there's NO WAY he'll ever let him do anything for you and your future family. If he stays at this job, you must say goodbye to celebrating wedding anniversaries and even birthdays (that includes your future children) with him. that boss is an unconsiderate moron who can only think of his own money and thus won't let your fiancé have a life. Not to mention that working like this will eventually destroy his health. I think it's better to have a husband that doesn't make THAT much money, but at least can be there for you and give importance to your relationship and your family, than being rich and having a totally absent husband.

While what you've said is completely true, it's also a situation that most people find themselves in, and is just a reality. Especially in the US at the moment, the level of control people have over their terms of employment is far from ideal. It's one thing to say that family comes first, it's another to have that family turned out into the street when the house gets repossessed. Sometimes putting your family first means making hard decisions.

I understand it's reality 'cause I've lived like this my whole life =/ I mean, my dad always put his job in the first place and now he's lost many moments that'll never come back and his health is screwed. I just don't think it's right... I mean, you don't need to let the family starve or something, just have some kind of limit.

Very true. I think that the employment situation many people find themselves in is just horrible, and like you said, it can do as much harm as good. I come from a military family, so the job was almost always the number one priority growing up, but obviously, everyone's experiences are different. Given a choice, most people would love to spend all their time with their loved ones, but I think many people today have simply had that choice taken out of their hands. For a lot of people it's either take this job, or be unemployed.

Not to mention the state of the economy lately, a lot of people are taking any job they can. Also, it is possible the finacé is being extra careful about his job because he's new. It's possible if the boss keeps screwing him over with things like this, and listens to no objections, then he might just up and leave and look for better working conditions at a lower paid job.

definitely a tough place to be in! i would definitely go with the good paying job, just because of the reality of the recession. you'll always be able to vacation later, even if you feel like you're missing out on your honeymoon. maybe give the trip to someone you love, who has really helped with the wedding? like your parents, or close friends. best wishes and have a wonderful life!

Go to the honeymoon alone and have sex with someone else. Problem solved.

yeah this sucks for you, but your husband shouldve asked his boss before and/or gotten a refundable honeymoon if you knew he was looking for a job

FYL, but you'll have plenty of time later on to go on vacations. A great job is hard to find right now.
