[quote=Anonymous]Spend more money to help you. Seriously. Dental school should eventually lead to a decent income, and you can pay yourselves back.

You are not going to be able to sustain this for four years of school. He is also going to grow further and further disconnected from the family as your kids get four years older. Throw whatever money you can at this problem to open up the time he needs to pass his courses and set aside a least a little time to be a husband a father.

My husband is an MD. He also had very few people in his class who already had children. I am a PhD. Same here. Those people had a lot of struggles, and divorce was not uncommon. If you have money anywhere to make this easier, spend it.

If you don't have the money, then get through this semester, and tell him you need to have a spouses' summit as soon as winter break begins. Now that you will both have a better idea of what dental school will be like, you need to figure out as a team how to make it work without him basically becoming a border in his own home.[/quote]
