Spouse going back to college

We've always had an awsome relationship. He's always made me feel #1 in his life. We were the perfect match and best friends.
A month or two ago he decided to go back to school and get his degree. He's had a great job for almost 10 years and just wants that degree soooooo bad!
Anyway, we don't have much time together as it is. He leaves early in the morning before I get outta bed, and gets home in the evening about 2 hours before going to bed. Our weekends were "our" time.
He goes to school one night a week and spends all of his free time on homework. We finally agreed that he'd only use Sundays to do homework. That is still a sacrifice because it cuts into our weekends a lot, but that was the compromise. We still had Saturdays together.
To make a long story short, he's put me way at the bottom of his list. It's school, work, the dogs, computers, school, books, school, work, computers,.......then me if he still has energy and time. Call me selfish, but I need a companion. I've got no girlfriends. I am a housewife and I take care of our home and my 13 year old daughter and our other "kids" (the dogs). I have felt neglected. I am ready to throw in the towel.
I have no one to talk to. Everyone who knows us thinks we are the perfect couple with the perfect life. If I talk to my mom, she'll say I'm just over-reacting. She loves my husband and thinks he can do no wrong.
I am deeply depressed and I just want to run away. In my perfect world, he'd quit school. I know it's just too important to him though. His defense is that he's trying to better himself for us. I thought he was just a few hours away from his degree, but I found out it will be at least 2-3 years before he's done. I can't do this that long.
I've been on anti-depressants for over 10 years and I have a history of depression and anxiety. On top of that, I have multiple sclerosis. I have my good days and my bad days, but most people don't even know there is anything "wrong" with me. help............

Yeah, I'm kinda in the same boat, only a little differently. A few years ago, I decided to go back to school - my going to school was supposed to be my job, while my husband worked. (I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, so energy is an issue for me, too.) Then, my husband decided to jump on the bandwagon, and soon took over. Now, we're both in school and taking the same classes, but my husband keeps pushing me to do more and more...even though I don't have the energy for it and get overwhelmed. And, if I complain or object, he just blows off how I feel. (He's a sociopath, so it's not that he doesn't understand how I feel - he just doesn't care.)

As far as having time together goes, you might try taking a couple of classes along with your hubby - if he's taking anything interesting to you...THAT much works for me and mine, since we'd never see each other, otherwise, just like your situation with your husband. Even when we take separate classes, we take them at the same time, so we spend time doing homework together. It HAS given us more in common, as well as new ideas to discuss. I like having the break from the house, too -and it was especially nice when my son was younger, like your kid's age.

but you have to stay strong for him, going back to school is hard and very, very time consuming, in order for him to succeed he needs your support. I am in college now and working, it does cut in to me and my husbands time, but we always have Sundays together, always. Also, we write love notes to each other and post them on the frig as little reminders. Taking a class together is an excellent idea as well.

I have found that making friends is vital for a successfull marriage and family. We all need to get out and try different things or be social in order to live a healthy life.
