Hi I'm a bit of a newbie but need some help. Bit of background info, I've been married for two years and we have 2 small kids. Dh has never been certain about career choice and often changes his mind I.e mentoring, lecturer etc. He has a well paid job at the moment and were starting to save as we have very little ( spent savings on baby, wedding etc). I plan to go back to work part time.
Now here's the problem, Dh really wants to go to medical school to become a Doctor next year. The thing is he suffers from confidence and self esteem problems and doesn't cope we'll with stress. He is very disorganised and has a poor memory, though this has improved with work.
My stance is that I don't entirely think its the best vocation suited for him and maybe wait a few years until were more stable financially and the baby is in school ( were meant to be saving for mortgage- not going to happen now!)However, I do love him and would ideally like to support him on his ambitions. So with been discussing this. He is saying we can get financial support from bursaries, loans etc and training will help him improve organisation etc. He is so adamant and has said he's considered all the pros and cons.
I know that the profession is extremely draining in every way and that it will effect the family.
we've argued and discussed this every night but just proving to be a huge problem in our relationship. I feel torn and have nobody to talk to. Please help!
