you boys are being so insensitive!!
BE NICE!!
Homer...while marriage is "for better or worse", it is also about communication. just because your wife is going thru a stressful time right now does not mean that she will remain that way. i've been thru college..as a pre-med student, and it was the hardest, most stressful time in my life. I just wanted to do good and achieve my goal. Her mindset is probably the same right now.
That being said...your wife still needs to realize that she has a family that needs her as well. You have to tell her how you feel. Let her know that her attitude is effecting the marriage, and that you are feeling unappreciated. In the same conversation, let her know that you support her 100%, and are proud of her for going back to school...yada, yada. Butter her up before letting her know how its negatively impacting you and your son. Don't back her into a corner, or make her feel defensive. That will make her feel like you are making her choose you or her job. Thats not the issue. Be completely honest, but SINCERE. As a wife and mother...she IS a good woman. She is just struggling right now. Hopefully, she will come around and be willing to compromise with what it is that you are wanting. Time management is key in juggling school and home. I hope that is an option for her, for you and your son's sake.
You are a good man for being so supportive and such a great father to your son!
And dispite what all you men think about us women....for every ONE man that is taken advantage of in a relationship....there are 10 women in the same situation!! Dont you guys watch the "submissive wives" on the Maury show!!
