Re: Marriage falling apart ![]()
Is this a serious question? If you truly do not already know the answer to this question, then I think I over estimated your intelligence. You honestly believe that your husband is going to be ok with you working or studying while your pregnant? You honestly think you’ll be physically be able to do either when you’re 9 months pregnanct or have just given birth? Who is going to watch the baby while you’re in school or at work? Of course, all this is ASSUMING that you have a totally healthy pregnancy and give birth without any complications.
BTW, if your husband had listened to your for the last 6 years, then you would’ve already finished medical school by now and would be in residency.
I already said this and I’ll repeat it again. Going by what your husband has told you…he and his family will expect you to be a stay-at-home mom. Don’t fool yourself into thinking anything else. And before you go off BCP, you really need to think about if you’re ok with that. Plenty of women do it and there’s nothing wrong with it. But the baby will be your world. That’s it. Don’t be in lala land thinking that the baby will get you anywhere near your dreams of getting a career.
P.S. GRE? So not considering med school anymore?
P.S. 2 Read the parenting forum here. Go read other pregnancy/newborn forums on the internet. Then decide if you can go to school or work while going through all that. Not to mention all the medical complications that can possibly arise. Go read about what type of effects newborns have on MANY marriages. Reading the way you talk about having a baby, I honestly don’t think you have any idea what pregnancy/birthing/taking care of a newborn is all about, and how demanding it is for a woman. Especially in a situation where you family can’t provide any support, and you have a strained relationship with your in-laws. And your husband doesn’t believe in daycare.
