It seems I've hit a nerve with a lot of you ladies who've racked up a lot of debt as well. Chipper, I'm in no way trying to control her. She asked my advice on this subject and we, as a couple in a committed relationship, talk about these things honestly and openly. I didn't post this to be lambasted and accused of trying to control her, because that's obviously not the case and she knows this as much as I do. I posted it for some advice on the situation and as I've said, multiple times now, I do support her, but debt in general makes me anxious and it does the same for her. You've made some pretty bombastic accusations about controlling her entire future, that simply isn't true, if anything I'm trying to help her figure out her future.

I never said "I refuse to allow her to do this" or anything even remotely close, to the contrary I've said I want to support her and encourage her to study what inspires her, but at the same time I don't want her to set herself up for a lifetime of debt. She's convinced me to avoid things that would be detrimental to my well being and I've done the same for her, give and take, talk and listen, look out for what's best for one another, it's called a relationship.

Edit: I don't really care if it "really concerns you".
