if your husband or someone is going to college and you are not. And you don't really want to go to college but sometimes you do want to. My husband goes to college and he always talks about it (which is fine with me). But he won't ever tell me ABOUT it. Like his classes and all. Do you think I'm just being jealous or what? I don't think I want to go but sometimes I do. I don't know really.

I do ask him about the classes.

that sounds selfish of him, but i don't think it's worth making an issue of. perhaps he just needs a little coaxing, or he figures it might bore you discussing what he's learning about.

Well, maybe you should take a couple of classes at your local community college for the summer and see how it goes before you make your decision. You are a bit jealousy because you husband is experiencing something you are not, he is not talking about it because he doesn't want to hurt your feeling or put you down for not going to school.

Check with the local community Collage and Adult education for classes. Maybe you could sign up for an art, photography, music, or some other class that you might like to do. This way you too would be going to school and it would give you something to add to the conversation. I think your probably feeling left out. I sometimes take pottery classes at night. It gets me out of the house and I meet new people.

Maybe your husband feels like you might get upset if he talks too much. If you are being jealous then he may detect that from you and may just be trying to avoid arguments. Or maybe he just thinks some details may bore you. You should just be open with him and tell him how you feel. Ask him why he won't give you details, and let him know that you just want to hear about what he is doing.

I know what you mean, all my friends and my GF go to a university and I kind of go to a community college (my work pays me to go to one class for like 1.5hr twice a week) I hear all kinds of cool fun stories and sometimes wish i went to a real college and lived in a dorm but I think over all I would like to live the fun college life but not the actual school work and classes and homework.
Hope that helps

I wouldn't be offended, but maybe a little hurt that he's not attempting to include you. My husband is currently taking classes and I ask him about them, I like to let him know that what he's doing is interesting to me. A lot of what he's talking about is completely foreign to me because I have a bachelors degree in History and is getting his degree in Network Engineering and Design.
Maybe he might think that you aren't really that interested and perhaps that's why he doesn't want to talk about it.
You should sit him down and tell him that you want him to tell you about his schooling and his classes because you are interested.

I wouldn't be offended. College is a room where you sit down at a desk learn something for an hour or 2 and you leave then read 30 chapters of material for HW and repeat. Believe me I've been in college for 13 years (for my MD) and its no walk around the park.

I want to go to college but I get jealous because my transcripts are lost and not even my old school can find them. Its as if I didn't even go there. Not enve county has them. I would have to retake all credits. If you can go..you should go..even if its community college. College and education is the best thing you can do for yourself. Life happens. You one day may need to stand on your own without your husband and you would of wished you went to college.
Just remember..Your luckier than most. Take advantage of it. GO!

you really can't judge how college will be for you based on his experiences. maybe he doesn't like to talk about his classes because you won't really know what he is talking about. you can always take a class or two to test the waters and see if it is something that you would like to pursue.

The college education may create a gap between you & your husband. Why don't you consider doing something.
I never regret obtaining Bachelor of Business Degree - quite proud actually

I think you must wish that you had the same opportunity. If it is your husband, you should only be sharing in his joy. It sounds like the issue is not him, but you. Why not give it a try? Take a class some time to see if you like it.
