I'm graduating college this Saturday with a Master of Education degree.
My wife said tonight, out of the blue, "I don't know if we can swing it, going to graduation."
Can you believe that crap?
I said, "Oh, you mean you don't want the children to experience the triumph of their father?"
"But on the other hand, it's ok to expect me to sit at the table, turning into a fat-ass by eating porkribs just because your father made them?"
She is out of it.
You guys who have a woman with the least bit of care, concern, and support for you are lucky as hell.
 
thats pretty rough man..is there even a reason for it? Or she just doesnt feel like sitting through it
 
I just finally graduated, and the ceremony is long as hell. I still think she should be way happy and supportive
 
Support is great.....On the flipside, graduations are boring as hell......Id rather mow my yard....
 
kill her... or atleast slap the shit out of her


part of love is support YES the shit is boring but damn he worked his ass off and THIS is him moment not having the support of his family would be totally wrong IMO
 
when i graduated college my girlfriend travelled 6 hours just too watch.. she should be there.. bye the way congrats on the amazing accomplishment were all proud of you :eerchug:
 
Congrats on the degree.

Only reason she can miss is is if she was there for the undergrad ceremony.

She can get a babysitter and plop her ass down in those comfortable seats and listen to everybody's name get butchered like all the other supporting people do.

El Presidente came to my graduation....
 
Maybe iam not reading right. Is your wife and children not living with you?? If not, then id say its an insecurity issue with her.
 
That sucks! A masters in one of the most respected fields you could be in and she cant find time to attend!!!!! Dayum!
 
thats fukikn rediculous..an imporrtant ass night for you and she doesnt wanna be there to attend it..ill hit a bitch
 
congrats on graduation. But hey I have not been allowed to se my kid for almost 17 days. Could be worse.
 
The next day her parents came over in the morning to watch the 2 year old and I told her father, "Don't worry about attending graduation."
He replied, "Why not?"
I said, "Because ****** doesn't feel like it's necessary, she said she didn't know if she could swing it!"
He said, "That's nonsense."
I left for work and he must have raised hell because she was an angel on Friday night.
The wife tried to convince me we shouldn't take the two year old but I insisted. I said, "She needs to learn how to act at social gatherings, and besides, she will flip out even worse if you don't let her go with you."
I told my father-in-law separately, "Look, when my mother died, I was 6 and my father wouldn't let me go to the funeral. He said I wasn't old enough. I sat in a hallway for two hours fuming, and still didn't get any closure. I have always resented him for that. No, the two year old goes to the show end of story period."
He got it.

They were all there, the 2 year old wasn't too bad, at least I didn't hear her over the crowd like other kids. It was long and drawn out but the two girls wore dresses and my wife was cordial (of course, the emerald and diamond earings I bought her the night before somehow increased her patience and stand-by-your-man- attitude.)
It was a great experience. It was a satisfying culmination to 2 1/2 years in graduate school in an institution revelled for their academic standards.

By the way, I live with my wife and kids.
I am 12 years older than my wife and her parents are still living. She hasn't really struggled much in life. Oh, she said she had to work in the cafeteria at college for money. Oh gee, does she mean for her BS from Middlebury College in Vermont, or her MS from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire (both of which her father paid for)?
I always get them mixed up...

Thanks for your accolades, support, and responses.

...and Fayde, yes it could be worse as I haven't seen my son in 9 years,
but that is another story...
 
First of all, congrats :yesway: ........and being that there is a generation/age gap between you and your spouse, shit like that is bound to happen.
 
Congratulations Mrhtbd. You deserve the accolades.

Why haven't you seen your seen for the past nine years?
If you're paying child support and providing court ordered insurance and you have visitation orders through the courts, get an attorney to hold her in contempt. Kids are not a pawn.

Fortunately, my wife has always been supportive of me even though the mother in law never thought I or anyone else could "measure up" to her "standards" in comparison to her husband.

Bottom line is for me anyway, take into account your own accomplishments regardless of other's opinions.
You are your own best judge and critic.

Now stay out of trouble you old hot head. LOL
