[QUOTE="Davemcc, post: 9418724, member: 99536"] That info about OP is not available in the first post. Yet it is still a possibility worth considering. I know of a couple strong marriages that were severely tested when one partner went back to school. In one case, my buddy getting a Ph.D was very near a divorce because the time and distraction from the marriage was causing his wife to feel somewhat abandoned. Better communication between the two led to the understanding that their feelings hadn't changed at all. It was just the circumstances getting in the way for a short time. Just because they weren't clicking at the time didn't mean that it was time for a divorce and now they are more happily married than before. My wife is back in university now, in her 40's, and I see that she is busy, tired, distracted, whatever you want to call it. That could easily be mistaken for a lack of interest in the relationship if the proper communication weren't there. Education and relationships are different animals altogether and being good at one doesn't necessarily prepare you for challenges in the other. I've got a couple degrees myself but I don't think that is what prepared me for the stress of having a spouse back in school. Rather, it was learning from the experience of my friends that gives me the perspective to leave her be and let her get done what she needs to do without adding extra stress from worrying how I feel about the process.
