way too traditional husband!!

he is traditional in a sense that he might want to be the head of the family. but i think he should give you a chance to do what you want to do without compromising your family life. that might be one of the reasons as well, he might be afraid that it would compromise the time that you spend with him or with the family..still patiently talk to him about it i guess, and keep on reassuring him that family would come first - probably that's what he wants to know. hope this helps.

It's hard, he was raised with strong beliefs about how things should be. My Dad was similar - no kids before marriage, must have children christened, that sort of thing. Now my partner & i have a daughter who was born out of wedlock but he has gotten over it - he's ok with how things are, he loves his Grand daughter & the fact we're not married, doesn't bother him any more! Maybe one day your husband will realise that a lot of things have changed from the way he was raised & he'll loosed up a bit like my Dad did!? Your Hubby will one day realise that you need encouraging & that he needn't feel threatened by your intelligence, it might just take a little time! Good Luck with it all :)

Was he this way before you married him or did this just suddenly come up? I would say seek some counseling. All of this should have been discussed before you guys got married. But now that you are married you guys need to get some help. Having someone to talk about it with that is non bias will help.

Hello Gem, My first question is why would he marry some one he could not respect and encourage, or is this an arranged marriage, But still he had a choice didn't he, or is a promise binding to both people, forgive me I am ignorant as to how arranged marriages come about and the procedure behind them, As to your question yes he is jealous of you knowledge and the fact that you could probably earn more than him,I believe that he is very insecure with you because he knows that in reality you do not need him in your life to survive, A man must believe that he is the protector and provider , and head of his family, and in you marriage this doesn't appear to be happening, it isn't any thing you have done it is his old fashion thinking, And for that I have no answer.
