I need advice on whether on my husbands college career. He has been attending college since the fall of 2010 and has 57 credits with a 2.4 GPA. He did poorly in high school graduating with a 1.67 GPA and had a son in high school as well we have full custody of. I encouraged him to go to college when we first started dating in 2010 and the first year he did fairly well. The last 2-3 years however have been a different story. We take out loans for his schooling and he is now failing his 4th attempt at college algebra and has to complete statistics after that. There have been at least three other classes he has had to drop and repeat. We have a tight budget overall and spend about $400 per month more than we make since he only is working about 25-28 hours per week while in school. We survive by getting additional student loan money to cover the deficit. However, the loan amount keeps building and building and it is really concerning me that he will never get his degree and this money has to be paid back. I hate to be the awful wife who forces him to give up on his dreams but after all this time he has still never attempted to see a math tutor and plays xbox every single day. If I were failing my classes I would do everything I could. Do you think I should have him just quit after obtaining his assoc in general studies instead of getting the degree he wants and have him find a 40 hour per week job? Or am I just being harsh?
57 credits in 5 years, and 4 tries at algebra without ever seeing a tutor? I’d break that ******* xbox.
Don’t tell us your concerns; tell him.
