I encouraged him because he's a very talented artist, but now I'd like him to focus on a real career because he didn't even finish high school. He's very smart and I love him a lot, but I can't live this way. Should I keep encouraging him to go to school or leave him alone while he figures this out? Reply to this Question

What is a real career? do you know? i know that to follow one's dream is the road to happiness so your road may end up doing the opposite, be very careful about destroying your future hubbies dream.
