[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your wife signing up for degrees that are low-paid? Usually when you're good enough, you can get a scholarship for a grad degree. You married someone who is not as smart/ambitious/capable as your side of the family. A mistake. It takes special skill to blow 200K on an OOS and end up with nothing. I also agree that instead of taking your frustrations out on the FIL, who seems a blue-collar guy who built himself up, you should look at your wife. Seems like a dud. [/quote]

This makes no sense.  They are married, so why isn't he paying for this if he agreed to it and is a doctor.  I hope this is fake.  Marriage is a partnership and it is his responsibility to support her if she's not working.[/quote]

So it goes from a father paying her bills to a husband paying her bills? What kind of partnership is that? The only reason a young woman not working is if she's taking care of the kids. Otherwise she should be out there earning her own money, especially after going to school for a few degrees. We don't live in the 1800s. Now if the OP just got himself someone to sit at home on a couch and serve him once he shows up, there's no need to pay for all these degrees. [/quote]
