I feel inadequate. I have discussed it with my wife and she reassured me of her love and commitment but I still feel inadequate. I’m financially stable, I take care of all of our bills. I also help out at home. She is a doctor, well educated, and I’m a farmer. I’m not as educated. I only had HND when I met her. I went back to get my bachelor’s degree because she insisted before we got married. We recently went on a trip to see her parents and stayed in her room. I was just looking around and I found some of her writings and stuff. She likes to write things because she forgets things easily. It’s like a rat eating things in tiny pieces.
So she has a box with just small pieces of paper filled with written things. Some of it contained her future plans: school, career, marriage. She wanted a well educated man, someone who would be high earning but too busy for her. Here’s me trying to make sure that she doesn’t feel alone because farm business can be hectic but she wasn’t even looking for a man who would be around daily. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I love my life with her but I’m scared that she will get tired and leave one day. Should I go get a master’s degree? I just don’t know how I will balance it with work and family.
