    Okay so I don’t think we will get a divorce or anything, but my hubby’s not too happy!

    I did disclose that over the next few months I would be married to test prep instead of him but this disclosure was lost on him.

    My early bird hubby was happy when I started getting up early, but very disappointed when I hit the books instead of drinking coffee with him. When he gets home from work and I am engrossed with working out an MCQ, he visibly becomes disgusted. He has taken on all the laundry, cooking, and cleaning, which I thought was the deal during exam prep (because I work too)…However he is becomming resentful. When I do get breaks I want to be brain dead. He is a mechanic and feels it is his duty to discuss how relays/transmissions/pistons work….and then quiz me…ugh!

    Love the man to death but I don’t know how to balance!

    He's probably mad because he knows that his ego is going to take a huge hit when you start making more than him….

    I think the only thing that gets him through it all is the whole salary bump thing ; ) I finisheed the EA exam June 4th and still have not gotten a raise. I think this discourages him, but in my bosses defense the IRS is taking their sweet time to send me the enrollment card. I finished college in Nov. Tax season was intense from Jan-Apr. (with my new manager position and all), and then I blitzed through the EA exams finishing June 4th. June 6th I began studying for the CPA…I feel bad for my poor hubby…but again in my defense I told him what CPA studying would entail before I applied to sit for the exams….and as time goes on he takes it less personally!
