Groomsman says 'I do' to the bride
Do not put off your education in anticipation of a possible move and then blame him. You should pursue your schooling.
If you don't want to move again, then assert yourself. Treat this like a negotiation between equal parties, with both agreeing to accept the result with equanimity. You've modeled a great attitude during your various moves, and now it might be your husband's turn to buck up.
Dear Amy: "Upset" was feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of toys and clothes her in-laws were heaping onto the grandchildren.
We went through this, too. Even with the "one toy in, one toy out" rule, it was still too much. We then told the grands that anything they wanted to give to the kids needed to stay at their house.
It took some time, but it worked!

Dear Room: Great solution.
