New job changed location and time on me

I May be wrong or not know how the system works but here it goes. I got a job in a new field I was trying to get into for months.

He is also the primary bread winner. Is this the point where I look for another job? I’m not sure because the red flags seem to be waving. I’m either going to tough it out and cross my fingers and hope for the best.
