[quote=Anonymous]DH is against all schooling/education for me.  He's had 17yrs of college, grad, and post-grad. I only had 4 years of undergrad, and then continuing ed courses.  I initially supported us while he was in school, but then once he finished and started working, he earned more than me.  I stopped working last year to take care of our 2 young kids, which he pushed. His line of work is so inflexible that it really requires one of us to either have a super flexible job, or to be at home. I want to eventually go back to school (part-time), then start a business once the kids are in elementary. But DH is against it - just the school part, not the starting a business part, which he supports.  He doesn't think I need any schooling to start a business (I have no business background, I'm a creative pro, and frankly I suck at the financial and management side).

He has always been against any kind of formal school for me.  I have suspicions that he is trying to keep me down, in a weaker position - he grew up in a misogynistic household, and he really does have some misogynistic tendencies. OR Is he just intellectually against formal education (as he claims)?  OR do you think he is just trying to be practical/reasonable and doesn't think it is worth the time/money? What would you think if you were in my situation?[/quote]
