No...but one reason I left my ex is because he didnt think me furthering my education was important. He said he made enough money and it would be a waste of money and time.
have a freind he had no problem with his wife returning to school she got a associates in 2 years and then 6 months later she left him. he's currently gettin the barroom shrink advice from many telling him that leting her go to school was what caused the separation. does more education gained after marriage cause us to rethink our current relationship??
my mother allways thought that when my ex got her present job that was the beginning of the end.she said as soon as she got her pensoin and benefits she didn't need me anymore.i bought all brand new appliances lawnmower snowblowerwhat did she need me for.. maybe she thought that because when my parents started our family she gave up a good job to stay home and raise her kids.
Not me but many years ago my younger sister went to nursing school and her husband couldn't handle it and started physically abusing her. They got divorced shortly thereafter. She's a nurse and he's an alcoholic.
I think some women (and sometimes men) might feel more empowered after they are educated and see that they have the financial capabilities to do things on their own. I don't think this would cause a relationship to end but if there are already underlying problems in the relationship, it might be a boost to get out.
I am a little concerned here, I work, am studying full time at university, raising a mob of kids on my own, volunteer in my community, and I would love to have a healthy love-relationship as well.
Seems I may be best waiting til I finish what I started...but that could take forever..
sad thing is neither sid of this coin is the right side or is it... I 've just been hearing many of late discussing this, remarks like "he's acting this way" or "she thinks just because..." and I have failed a few times since my returning to school. I'm grateful the time involved in those attempts whee short but still it's another mark in the loss column...

Is this a common thing to outgrow your partner, or leave the one who helped and stayed with you throughout the ordeal????
I mean before you realize it, you become like strangers to one another.
