[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to add, to the OP's post, she could start training or a job and her husband would probably still discourage her because he wants to uproot everything again. So your advice re: training etc doesn't matter.

[b]OP needs to convince her husband[/b], one way or the other, that she should be given some latitude and permanency to pursue her career again.[/quote]

As a former trailing spouse, I disagree.  This is the time where you stop "convincing" your spouse and start doing.

"I'm going back to school for my masters degree at XXX.  Classes begin Tuesday at 6:30 and Thursday at 7.  Do I need to find a sitter until you get home, or can you ensure you are home by X? "

Done deal.

Make sure your degree can be completed even if you move.  If YOU (not your spouse) decides school isn't the best option, than I'd get a job.  Even if this means transferring or giving notice when your spouse decides to bale.  I've always been a trailing spouse, but I've always found work, even when it was for a 21 month stint.

Don't ask, just do.  Good luck.[/quote]
