Hi Danielle,
You have described your situation in a calm, sensible way. I’ve been through close to what your guy has.
If your glass is half empty, fill it. If your glass is half full, fill it.
What I mean is, it does not matter whether you have what you want, or whether – within reason – things are going up or down, but that you are there in your heart. Continue doing your best. Enjoy the journey!
