My boyfriend and I had been together for a year and a half, living together for 1yr...Everything was great together, then he had to leave the Army for medical reasons and moved back to MD to be with his mother/sis/bro because they needed him to take care of them.. I am stuck 4000mi away and am 2yrs away from getting my degree, which we both agree is the best thing for me to do. He and I broke up and didn't talk for a month and a half and he finally emails and calls and we are on the process of working things out. He is working 6days a week, about 13hrs a day, hardly makes enough to support all four of them up there, and has some psychological problems because of serving in Iraq. I am in love with him and he is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, he feels the same, he says I am his world-the last thing he wants is for me to be unhappy... Is love supposed to be this difficult? And should he have to take on all the responsibilities and sacrafice him happiness?

It appears your BF's family are using his feeling of responsibility to be at their beck and call. Out of his mom, sister and brother there should be one person who can take over, though I am not sure of the ages here. I would help set up the family to handle their own problems and perhaps implement government agencies who can help in some families. You have not said why they need him or how they coped before he got back but I think he needs to put you first but make sure his family has the means to get on with life without him.
