Justin Counting Stories by Harry Turtledove, two pts. [may be read in either order], Analog Science Fiction and Fact, December 1999 [“Counting Up”] and Asimov’s Science Fiction, December 1999 [“Counting Down”].
At twenty-one, Justin Kloster has it made: one more year of college and then happily ever after with his sweetheart Megan. Then his forty-year-old self shows up to prevent Justin from making terrible mistakes that will lead to an eventual nasty divorce with Megan.
Turtledove tells the story twice: once from the Justin-21’s point-of-view and once from that of Justin-40. Together, the stories form a short novel-length work that can be read in either order.

I was stupid. I didn’t know enough. I didn’t know how to take care of her.
