Extremely frustrated with my partners job making her work well past the time she should

...See more I am so incredibly frustrated right now and I need a place to vent and get that frustration out. My partner works as an engineer and recently got a new job as of 2 months ago. She’s supposed to work 8:30am - 4:30pm. But they’re piling massive loads of responsibilities on her and projects to be completed when she’s still actually only in her probationary period of 3 months. She’s doing the level and amount of work the managers and superiors do. Sometimes she stays hours past that end time. Sometimes she takes online meetings late into the night. Sometimes she responds to emails in bed. And she knows this isn’t fair or right. Management sucks and she admits that. She’s seeing no extra pay for this either. It’s a salary job. It’s affecting our time together and creating hostility. I’m sitting here typing this waiting for her to finish doing her work so we can go to the concert we’ve had planned for months. It’s looking like we may miss it. I’m so angry I could cry. I guess I’m not looking for advice because there’s nothing to be done but I just needed to let off steam

...See more A week ago my fiancé was disowned by her family for being a lesbian. My heart is completely broken for her. She moved to North America from a middle eastern country a few years ago to study and start a new life. We met, fell in love and are getting married this year. She still kept in contact with her family weekly and they’ve been oblivious to her sexuality her entire life because it’s both a sin in their religion and a crime in their country. They know me but think I’m a friend. Her sister found out about us and told her parents and now she’s been exiled. What I witnessed her parents say is nothing short of pure evil and hatred. They said the most vicious and vile things I’ve ever heard anyone say to another human. Her father told her she’s dead to them and that he never wants to see her again. Her mother told her she wished she was dead and that she’ll spend every day praying that bad things happen to her. Typing that makes me feel violently sick. My fiancé has since blocked everyone and deactivated social media to take a break. She’s obviously devastated but is holding on really strong. But, she struggles with letting her emotions out. She hated crying and fights it really hard. She struggles with vulnerability and would rather push it away. This is something she can’t push away and tonight she broke down. She’s grieving her mother, father and siblings all at once. I comfort her the best I can but I know nothing I say or do will heal what’s so incredibly raw. I’ve encouraged her to speak with a therapist but she has always rejected therapy and says it won’t do anything. I’ve encouraged her to speak with others who have gone through this but we don’t even know where to seek that out. I don’t know what I want to get out of posting this thread. I guess it’s mainly to get this all off my chest but maybe to seek support and advice from anyone out there who’s been through *** like this themselves. I love my fiancé so damn much and will do everything I can to make sure every day she knows she is loved and cared for. Not just by me but my family and our friends too.
