Aww, I'm sorry about that.

I think the Open University suggestion Bukatyne made is a good one. Speak with him about this and hear what he says.

Crossing my fingers for ya.

I am sure the hubby will be more receptive of this.

what about her personal fulfillment ?
Nope she committed a crime by being a female. Her personal fulfilment doesn't matter.

I don't understand some people.... so u all think she dint present it well. She probably went like "yo hubby I wanna go to school. Oh I'm just telling u and not asking u".
This has been her dream all along and probably she would have hinted it to husband along the line of courtship or early on in their marriage. The husband should be able to support her dreams, that's what husbands do. And they can work something out regarding the kids. She deserves to be happy in her marriage.

Lol!

A friend in the OP's shoes had to go to school by force.

The OP's hubby wants her to a house wife so he is thinking what is the use of schooling?

She will go through this same thing when she wants to work with him because school enlightens and broadens one's mind.

OP:

I would advise you think about going to Open University. You can study online and still be a house wife.

If hubby doesn't bulge for working: start thinking in the lines of business especially online.
It is well



My sister God knows that only him can stop me from being a graduate ooo, can't afford to be an illiterate in the name of marriage or divorce abeg.

Im having issues with my husband and now he is neglecting me and rejecting my food.pls i need your advice

Debbiemania, this is a sensitive matter and it needs to be handled wisely.
How did it get to the stage of your hubby not eating your food?
Did you just say "hubby I want to go to school" and he suddenly stopped eating your food? . . I dont think that this is what happened.

This is why its important that when husband and wife come with their "reports" the listener does not automatically take sides but reads between the lines.

My little advise to you is to go back to the drawing board and retrace your steps and do some homework. You know your husband better than anyone here and you know what his fears/reasons may be and what you need to do is go and speak to him, but armed with information and solutions to problems that he may feel that your going back to school may present. This is not a head to head matter. Listen to him, listen to his fears and its only when he opens up to his deep seated concerns can you even begin to allay thise fears.

For example if he is worried about what will happen to the children in your absense, then you would have already have some good ideas/plans for childcare that you have in mind to allay those fears.

The truth is that you are the one who has to do the appealing. You cant force him to let him send you to school so you need to take it down a notch or two. I am assuming that you want to remain in the marriage.

You can still both meet somewhere in the middle or even still manage to convince him to let you return to school, but it wont be by gra gra but by calm, mature and sensible methods. He is your hubby . . .find his weak & tender spot for you and work on it. Sefini.

Chop your food and wash your pot,

That's why they advice ladies not to marry before acheiving their dreams..
he's only scared you might go to school and find another Johnny or come back to become stubborn..

Sorry but what is his level of education?
Do u have a close relationship with ur inlaws? Do u think they will support u. Maybe u can confide in his mom or someone he respects and listen to?
By the way what course do u plan on studying?
