A: Yes, that's what my husband wants to do. I just get nervous because all his friends are taking classes. I don't want him to fall behind.
B: I don't know what to say. Maybe you can do some research and see what others advise. I'm sure you're not the only one facing this problem. At least, your husband is taking an interest. If I ever get married, I hope my husband will be as involved as yours.
But he has to help you with that not just complain.
