Obviously, when one person goes back to school and stops working, the couple loses that income. With all due respect, why is he "reminding you every so often?" What good does that do? Ideally, this should be a good thing (you going back to school) for a variety of reasons, including increased income potential when you get out, not to mention that it's interesting and something you want to do! The couple makes adjustments if it is important to them.

This just really hit a nerve with me. My husband did not want me to go to grad school if it meant taking out student loans. Yet, he was unwilling to work full-time to make up the difference. In other words, if it inconvenienced him, my higher education was not worth it.

Sorry, it's early, my dog woke me up, and I haven't finished my tea yet, so I'm a bit grumpy.
