Ugh,

H is freaking out about his tuition. He says that if he has to drop this semester, it will be very hard for him to forgive the situation. He will not need to drop the semester, and he should have looked at the budget originally himself, and should have talked to his school administrator. Anyway, I sent him an email asking how I could help, whether there was anything I could do, suggested some things to cut from the budget to make the payments. Anyway, I hate that he is looking at this as my fault. I feel sick, and I really want to tell him that if I just came home, things would be a lot cheaper. I know he is angry because we went on a trip that I wanted to go on instead of covering his tuition. It's not my fault that he said yes :(.

Anyway I sent him this email,

"Hi again,

I'm sorry this situation is so difficult. I really want to help as I know that there is plenty in the budget to cover the fees over the next month.

Stock money will be enough to completely pay off that balance. We can make sure that is first priority. It was always in the budget. the budget has money for each semester's fees.

In the meantime, there was 750 budgeted for Prague. If you want we can put that immediately toward your school. I don't need anything else while I am here.

Next pay period is going to be incredibly tight, but I want to make sure we get this taken care of first and foremost, and we can find things to cut from the budget as need be.

The last option would be to try and use my corporate card. I will have to pay off the balance by October 11th, but it may work as well. There are plenty of options to make the payments. Please just let me know what I can do to help make this easier. You have enough on your plate."

This is really breaking my heart. It is all I can do not to IM him and ask if he is OK. I hate that he thinks his school wasn't a priority for me. It always has been! I hope this hasn't really pushed him away...
