To be miffed about his attitude towards my degree?

[Fifyfomum]

I am currently finishing a degree, I am doing pretty well with it, have got consistently good grades right the way through. When I talk about my further study, or jobs that I might get, my husband says 'well that depends if you get good enough grades' every. single. time.

Its really beginning to grate on me, he has just done it again on the phone and its really made me down. I know I have the capability to achieve the grades I need but I really wish that he had more faith in me.

Hamster - he does say "I expect you to succeed ... you are a brilliant and hard working person who has a good eye for detail and an excellent way of structuring an essay."

OP, I found the tone of your emails very aggressive and spiteful. His replies are remarkably measured in that context. I don't think you are going to solve anything over email.

Has your husband fully bought in to your plans to do a masters?

Wow, OP the tone of your mails is awful!
I thought you DHs responses were supportive and reasonable. I was very surprised at the aggressive responses you sent him back. It's almost like you didn't read his email, and keep harping on about his lack of support.

I don't think you are really listening to him.
It seems you have different communication styles, so you might need to listen harder and ask questions to understand what he really means. Don't second guess him.
And I think you should wait and do this face to face.

Well done in your studies. I'm sure you will get the grades you plan.

BTW, your DH is very patient. If I received emails in that done, I'd be very tempted to respond in a similar tone.

Emails in that tone.
