Dear Megan:

There is no point in following your fiancé’s advice (to stay in your current job) so to make him happy,  because he is struggling with depression, and he will still struggle with depression no matter what job choice you make.

Plus, if you choose to stay in a job where you are miserable, then it will not be good for him (whether he is aware of it or not) because a distressed fiancée will make his life worse.

Therefore choose the job where you will feel better. The problem with the job you are considering is that it involves more hours, but better have more non- miserable hours than fewer, but miserable  hours: when a person is miserable, time feels very long; when a person is okay, time doesn’t feel that long.
