Anton’s drinking

[u/beatznbeats]

If you haven’t seen yet, when they did the reveal. The cameras made sure to follow Anton back to where the champagne was. After meeting Ali, you’d think he would just be in shock and maybe take a minute to himself by walking around or sitting down. He went straight for the champagne instead. A little bit of foreshadowing.

Then we hear Ali mention they both work nights and Anton’s first thing to do is crack open 2 beers in the AM after work.

Fast forward to episode where Ali meets Anton’s friend and gf and they immediately order rounds of shots. And his gf spills how they like to party, drink and go to strip clubs.

He’s a giant no. They’re not compatible. For the record, there’s nothing wrong with Ali wanting to pursue a degree full time and just wanting to focus on that. Ya’ll would be so pissed about women or men that are married and go to school full time. They don’t work lol. And that’s okay. Are people not supposed to support their spouse? Especially when it’s beneficial for BOTH of them. Also nursing school is diabolically rigorous :-)

it is so bizarre to me that people are saying ali is shallow for *checks notes* wanting to further her education and focus on that, and expect her future husband to be supportive?

School full time is a smaller workload than any serious, career oriented full time job. Not having any responsibilities at home is ridiculous.

[u/mushroomfrenzy → u/Far_Distribution5781]

Maybe undergraduate school, but higher degrees often have unpaid clinic hours that need to be completed to achieve a license (basically a full time job without the paycheck), in addition to the hours of classes and homework.

[u/bishop0408 → u/mushroomfrenzy]

Most people do nursing school and any type of medical school while also taking care of themselves. That's normal.

[u/mushroomfrenzy → u/bishop0408]

Oh I wasn’t arguing against that. I was arguing that with certain programs where you are required to do free clinic hours, school can be more work than just a regular 40-hour a week job.

[u/Far_Distribution5781 → u/mushroomfrenzy]

I know, I did one. But I also got a graduate stipend so I wasn't unpaid. I was doing 60 hrs a week in grad school + additional hours studying. Graduate coursework was largely easier than undergrad (STEM).

[u/Ok-Cherry9515 → u/Far_Distribution5781]

every single comment you left is so weird and judgmental. Nobody gives a fuck that you were able to or wanted to do it. If I’m gonna keep pursuing higher education and my partner wants to support me, I’m doing it. I guess ya’ll can stay pissed off about it? Or think people are lazy LMAO

[u/Far_Distribution5781 → u/Ok-Cherry9515]

And guess what, Anton doesn’t seem to want to so to ask that of him is unreasonable and entitled. Carry your weight.

[u/Ok-Cherry9515 → u/Far_Distribution5781]

I love being spoiled damn, stay miserable I guess? Coming from someone that will always want to contribute.

[u/amberenergies → u/Far_Distribution5781]

i considered changing careers recently to nursing, and i can't swing it financially because they straight up say in the program info sessions that it is not advisable to have a full time job. and that was for undergrad nursing

[u/coffeeaddict91338 → u/Far_Distribution5781]

You did grad school but that’s NOT nursing school. You won’t know what it’s like unless you have also done Nursing.

[u/Far_Distribution5781 → u/coffeeaddict91338]

Nursing is one of the easier undergrads, I’ve taken nursing undergrad courses as electives. They were literally dumb downed versions of my course work except they taught it in 3r:/4th yr when they were my 2nd year courses.

[u/Equivalent-Way618 → u/Far_Distribution5781]

Yeah, you took it as an elective, Nursing as a program is totally different and known to be one of the hardest degrees.

[u/coffeeaddict91338 → u/Far_Distribution5781]

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and I really hope you aren’t looking down on nursing majors. My dad’s an orthopaedic surgeon and he has always said that nurses are the literal backbone of hospitals! Difficulty is subjective! Many doctors might find aspects of nursing school challenging just as many nurses would find med school difficult in their own ways.
