Seems like the sibling comments have already doled out the tough love. All I can add is that I'm in a similar boat, having worked for a long time and now back at university to finally check out my degree... The material is much, much more challenging than I would have thought. Which is disheartening because I have so many years of experience and thought I knew most of what there is to know... So eh, don't give up! Working on those homework problems with your fiancee is a great opportunity to learn more.
