Hello Sad99,

Welcome to PC. I don't think the nursing program is the issue at all; I think you have marriage issues and the issues that float around the marriage are bringing the issues in the marriage to the fore.

Firstly do you mind if I ask what it is about Nursing that you consider psychologically draining? I know of the emotional drain, and in some circumstances and the issues of someone not being suited to Nursing emotionally, but that is different to a psychological issue

A supportive husband would be one who is interested enough to offer solutions on how to fix the problem. Unfortunately you have a supportive husband.

I don't think you are weak, though you may think you are. You are strong enough to say that you only relax when he is out of town, and you clench your jaw when he is around. A weak person would just put up with it and never question it.

I think it comes down to simply making a decision on what is happening. Are you going through a difficult time because of the pressures of the acc nursing program or are you admitting you don't actually love your husband and want to be single?
