I was working on my masters and working full-time while DH was still in his apprenticeship and taking 2 - 3 night classes per week while working full-time. Now we were both in programs intentionally designed to be working FT, and we were still completely stressed out! We're both glad we did it but it was a rough couple of years.<BR/><BR/>So if you need to cut back then do it! Your marriage is way more important.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985331491572039777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837616451075676425.post-8230605363334592152007-11-05T07:12:00.000-05:002007-11-05T07:12:00.000-05:00I know that Tom & I fought about as much as we eve...I know that Tom & I fought about as much as we ever did while I was in school & working. I only ever did part time job, but it was still hard. I think slowing down is a fine thing- taking your relationship first, but continuing on your path to your goals, is always a good compromise. I know it is completely cliche to say- but you do have plenty of time to stretch out your masters. another year in the long run isn't all that much... plus it is much easier on you too!jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579483658489666087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837616451075676425.post-87242055443081151772007-11-04T18:15:00.000-05:002007-11-04T18:15:00.000-05:00Mon, I really didn't think it would take SO much o...Mon, I really didn't think it would take SO much of a toll. We got through my entire B.S which I finished in 2 and a half years, however I wasn't working full time then, I was just doing a flex-time position at the hospital. Maybe that's the issue though, the entire time Thomas and I have been together I have never not been in school except for a brief 6 months while I was deciding what to get my Masters in. Maybe we just need a school break, or at least slow down the momentum of which I am getting my degree so we can have some time together. I won't completely quit, but I am definitely thinking one class at a time right now is enough.KatieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01788333330983257409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837616451075676425.post-51867176851946452122007-11-04T17:25:00.000-05:002007-11-04T17:25:00.000-05:00hmm, it's kinda ironic that I read this today. Jo...hmm, it's kinda ironic that I read this today. Josh is getting fed up with his classes and thinking about taking a break from his master's as well. And I was just thinking about going back for my PhD. I haven't really looked into it too much yet so I haven't really talked to him about it. I guess we really need to consider how much effect it might have on our relationship.Monica Faythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01174824812421298811noreply@blogger.com
