<human>: We live very far apart, in different states, though we've met physically twice and spend a lot of time online together. I knew him for 1.5-2 years (can't recall) before we started dating, and we've been close for most of that period. Our relationship is generally going very well and we have plans to get married, but there's one thing that's causing problems.

He was an international student. He graduated this past spring. Now, he's on Optional Practical Training, which means he has 90 days to find a job of volunteer position that's at least 20 hours a week and in his field of study (History). As long as he does, he can continue to stay and work in the US for a year. I will graduate in the spring of next year, so obviously I would prefer to get married after I graduate.

As you might have guessed, there's not an abundance of jobs for people with a bachelor's in history. To complicate things further, his college gave him the run around, resulting in delays for him being able to start applying. We're nearing the end of week 2 and he's applied to less than 10 places.

I know he's working very hard with what he has, but I am worried. We have a tentative backup plan of him moving to me if he can't find a job and marrying then, so he wouldn't have to leave, but that would be uncomfortably rushed.

I'm worried because what happens in the next couple of months will decide our future for at least a year. Whenever I admit I'm worried, it seems to upset him and he just says "there's nothing to worry about" and "I'm not worried" over and over. It makes me feel worse, like I'm stupid for worrying, like he doesn't care. Because to me, I worry because I care. I care about him and our future. This is very important to me. He says my worrying isn't helping anyone, but since when am I only allowed to have emotions that benefit people?

I don't know what to say to him to make him understand.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: What happens in the next few months will decide our future. The stakes are high and the outcome is uncertain, and I worry about him because I love him. My boyfriend is upset with me for worrying.
