Howdy, this is a thread for armygasses wife (God bless you for all that you have been through). I am currently getting everything together to hopefully go to school soon but I have run into a problem with my spouse. The closer I get to my goal, it seems, the more nervous (jealous???) and squirrely he gets. I got through my BSN program on a full scholarship from my hospital (whoopee! I have never gotten squat for free in my life!) and when I would bring home "A"'s after working two jobs and caring for my daughter, he would brush it off as no big thing. I get my BSN degree after 3 years of blood, sweat, and tears and he gives me a (I am not kidding....) Ho, Ho cake someone from work made as a graduation gift (didn't eat a bite...). I just don't understand. The closer I get to the goal to help our family, the odder and more withdrawn he becomes. It almost seems like he would rather I not go to school at all even though I told him this goal light years ago. I am trying to get us out of debt completely before I start school (he is trying to get me to buy another car!) so he doesn't have to worry about bills. He just doesn't seem very supportive and I am afraid he will try to sabotage my efforts once I get in. Do you have any pointers on how I can get all the "worry" off of him to make him a little more supportive to this transition? I have went so far as to start saving "mad money" to give to him during times when he is stressed out over school scheduling. What helped you the most? Here's the kicker...he's a medical professional (physician assistant) and he's very smart. Why would he be acting this way??? You think he would understand. Thanks TK
