Volunteer.  I bet your local library or hospital would love to have someone with your credentials to read to children.

You sound stressed - you need a break and you should take one. Some therapy may help - having someone to talk to is always nice- does your church provide any type of support in times like these?\nGet yourself a place and renew your relationship with the Lord - tell Him all that is troubling you and allow Him to guide you through these hard times - just rest in His comfort and rely on God to renew your mind and body. Pray for your spouse thats really all you can do at this point - he has to be willing to get help. Take care of your children and provide them with  loving support and stableness that young ones need. Don't seek divorce just yet - see what the Lord directs you to do...

My mom did her PHD while working full time and raising us kids. She was stressed, but I found that she loved to talk about her work all the time. I believe that this is a common trait in academics. I'm sure you find that your husband is going on and on about his work and of course you don't care, but pretend to. He'll feel better thinking that his work is important to someone other than himself and his professors. From time to time, you should plan things that are not related to his work like spend a few hours of a day together doing nothing of consequence like rent his favourite movies one night or go out to some of his favourite places. You know him best, make him time to enjoy something that he doesn't feel like he has time for anymore since embarking on the PHD journey.

Hi passionate person!!!  : )\n\nI can understand your mindset - me and my son(26 months old) are your kinds. In fact i even get bored of my husband many times coz he just cant keep up with us. We keep looking to do something interesting every day.\n\nMy suggestions for you - join different classes but short time ones don't take the longer ones. Try to do and think what you want to do everyday or even better don't think in advance. Think when you are in the situation and see what you can do interesting . If you are at home then try to rearrange your house from top to bottom - or may be one room a day. Try to bring new ideas,experiment with different colors,materials,designs all this but with nothing new - just with whatever you have at home,with you. Take it as a challenge and rake your brain(this is just an example). By doing this you are completely occupied, you are happy with the results and tired for the day and this is just for a day and tomorrow you need to think again something new and innovative.\nYou can try different things at all the places and at any time. If you are bored try playing memory games,try to play with words and see how you can link those words to any activity or even try your hand in writing something using those words.\nLook around. Have your eyes and ears wide open and keep searching for "what i can do next with what is available around me"That should be your challenge.\nHappy inventing!!!

can't blame you for getting frustrated...what you need is a break. meaning...go somewhere else with your husband, take a trip to a new place or a place where you've been to before and had a great time...\nsometimes it takes much more than "holding it" to ignite things... a change of environment once in a while is good for both of you.\ni think your husband feels stressed out, or something is really troubling him and doesnt want to tell you what...but that's another story...\n\nand about your question if its normal for him to not want to have sex, my answer would be yes. My husband is like that..sometimes...esp when he's tired, i realized my energy level is higher than his so i try my best to meet halfway...husbands are lazy when they are tired and sleepy even if as you put it...you are a hottie.\n\nGood luck to you and your hubby...

A day out...a lot of new retirees find themselves bored very quickly...you could also ask his help to fix something (something he is good at) this is a gift he won't realize he is getting...but feeling useful is always nice...if he is enjoying his retirement and doesn't seem bored or listless, then a day out with his kid is still nice...maybe see a game or go bowling...

I'm sorry for you.   I'm going thru something similar, but with 20 years together.  You might never have a reason why this happened.   I've found accepting that I can't MAKE him give me an answer or tell me the truth takes away a lot of the stress.  \n\nThere must be some little things that are better with him gone, though.   Something as small as having your room the way you like it now.   You may never stop loving him, but you will move on.  If you don't, you're wasting the life you have left!   There's so much more to do and see yet.   \n\nStrengthen you relationship with your kids (if you have any), and with your friends.   If you don't have friends, get out and do something you love and you'll meet some new ones.  \n\nI don't know how longs it's been for you, but at 2.5 month for me I can say that I'm really happy most of the time.   I couldn't have imagined that only a few weeks ago!\n\nGood luck to you, and don't stay home or in bed all day!  Force yourself to get out and do things or go places

You need a break and some time to think. get away. Maybe go visit an old friend and spend the night. Have a little slumber party. Just something to make you smile. If things are going wrong with your boo, maybe you should reevaluate your relationship. Definitely don't quit your job yet until you can get back in school. It's just time to take some you time! Good luck!

Well, you could be bored cause you have NOTHING to do, like me!  If it has been like that for more than a week, then you may need to update your resume and start looking for another job.  \n\nIf you are bored with what you are doing, ie. your busy, but bored with the work.  Then you definately need to find a new and more exciting job.  \n\nGood luck getting over your boredness!

I think that you and your mother have made a wonderful decision and someday your nephew will thank you! Don't get discouraged too easily and ignore the remarks made by those who don't know what they are talking. The beauty of home education is that you work at his pace and that his teacher loves him and has more to gain than a paycheck. Don't spend 3 hours on something, put it down and come back to it later. He probably started to feel frustrated (and dumb) because he wasn't "getting it" and it was so simple for you. Be patient with him and give him lots of praise for a job well done (no matter how small it seems to you). Your praise and love are what he needs more than any schooling right now. Spend some time at first with some hands on educational stuff like going to the museum or walking in the woods. Make learning an adventure and relationship building time. Remember that since you are working one on one with him, you have plenty of time to make up for what some would call lost time. Good Luck and God Bless your homeschool! P~

I'm in same boat with my hubby i'm lucky i'm on computer now to answer this the way he hogs the computer.   Give him errans to run and if you want to spend time with him find things you know he'll want to do like go to a guy flick.  I finally got hubby off to go see saw 111.  Try creative things he may be feeling bored and games are is only outlet.  I try and play games with him i hate it but at least we;re together.  Also be open about how you feel i did and he cut his game playing in half lol i'm working on the other half now lol

Oh dear, maybe you are putting too much emphasis on your marriage. It seems that the new car smell has worn off. It sounds like you still love your husband, but you feel as though something is missing. It is, your life. Whatare you doing with yourself to decompress? Your mate and your child shouldn't be the only focus in life. Get a hobby. I mean that in the most genuine and caring way. Find a healthy form of exercising those mental muscles that will also boost your self esteem. And for goodness sake, do not get involved with another man, any kind of way. You have to realize that you are going thru a new chapter in your life, it is growing pains that you are having, just like when you were an adolescent. Keep the activity simple but very rewarding.Your blues will pass, but keep your personal activity.
