I like my job, but no-work life balance started killing my health and personal life

When I joined my current company, everything was perfect. However, three colleagues left us, and I had to take over all their tasks and projects. It happened three or four months ago. Now I work up to 14 hours a day for the same salary because I’m the only professional who doesn’t have family and children, so I can dedicate 100% of my time for work. I was okay at first, because I didn’t have anything to lose. But shit happens, and I fell in love with a guy (the mutual feeling is the best!). Unfortunately, we cannot see each other often because of my job… I applied for a similar role, but with better conditions and salary (80% raise!). Today I received the answer that only one interview is left and I’m hired. I feel like an asshole (a little), but life is too short to die alone and…

HR lied to my friend why she wasn’t hired due to an error with her background check. I decided to quit my job today.

I worked as a paramedic for a local hospital and there has been positions opened since last year. My friend just passed the licensing examination and I told her to apply to the hospital. She applied and they really liked her. My friend has never gotten into any kind of trouble, has her degree and overall, a wonderful person.

My daycare for an infant and 2 year old is $4000 a month. WTF do I do

Both my wife and I work. Pretty good paying jobs. She is a school psychologist and I am shop manager. But we will now be totally fucked. Rent is $2700 a month and child care is 4k. Just those 2 things is going to bankrupt me. I am trapped. Can't quit to stay home almost not worth it to stay. I want to have them in a good daycare instead of having some rando watch my baby and toddler and that is just the going rate around here. I already have picked myself up by the bootstraps and the system has crushed me.
