How do you deal with a spouse that doesn't support your Dreams?

I do what ever I can to reach my dream(s) that much quicker. Nobody has the right to piss on your parade, especially if your married to them. What kind of example does that set for your child(ren)? It is best to always do your best and achieve what ever level of success you can. You will feel better about yourself and those around you will see not everything is impossible. Alot of couples that are married tend to be jealous of one another and hate to see anything good happen. A more mild case of this is say your trying to diet and your spouse tries in every way to ruin it. Those types of issues tend to be a more serious underlying problem.

a spouse is supposdly to be the person with whom we share our life, pain, gain, n DREAMS. so, if our partner doesnt support your dream, n he shouldt be ur spouse at the first place. is nt. anyway, he might be veri supportive at the beginning, n things go another wa around in the later stages, i ll prefer first to talk to him bout our dream n what we expect him to do as a spouse of us. Negotiation s always the better way of settlmnt

I would still go for it, relationships should be about a joining and a growth. I am certain many of us have spouses that have different passions, that..in my opinion is natural.Variety, and new ideas, add life and zest to a relationship. Well, at least it should. As long as those pursuits are not leading to any kind of conflicts 'follow your dream'...SS

I think you first try to negotiate or convince your spouse to see reason and support you in making your dream a rality if it does not works than i think than yu got to make a choice, do you love your dream or do you love your spouse ultimately its hurts leaving or neglecting any one of them, but life is all about making compromises.

I would go for my dream. If it's something you truly want to do, nothing should stand in your way. Dreams are made to be followed and if you let them die...then what? I cannot stress enough that no one knows what's best for you more than you. Not being supported or being let down by anyone is my fuel...it gives me reason to go for whatever I want. If my boyfriend didn't support me when I stood by his side while he fulfilled his...then he is not the one for me. But thank God...he is supportive...he is my cheerleader!!!

What is more important to you? I couldn't be married to someone who doesn't want to be part of what I am trying to create in life.

simple way

If my hubby never supported one of my dreams, I would feel bad, but always believe in yourself! I have a dream of becoming a famous lyricist and he's a guitar pro. so... no doubts there

It can be very trying if the spouse isn't encouraging and supportive. It takes a lot to go for it alone and achieve it too. Luckily my husband is supportive and helps me a lot. If there comes a day when he wouldn't be on my side then I would probably try to talk it out with him and if he doens't agree at all then I would go ahead on my own. I do things only when I make up my mind and once it's made up nothing can stop me!
