Whenever I discuss a problem that I am having with my husband, he gives me very specific advice on what I should do. About 90% of the time I don't listen to his advice and he gets upset about it and thinks that I don't value his opinion.

So, why don't I take his advice? Because I wasn't asking him to tell me what to do. I just want him to listen to me. I know what I need to do to solve my problem. It just makes me feel better to talk about the problem out loud :)

My advice: Your girlfriend will figure it out by herself. Just be there for her.

My fear is that she will go to grad school just to leave the working world, and in 3 years will finish grad school and have the same problem. I knew what I wanted to do when I was a kid. So it made every decision since then easy.

I feel like grad school is just a way to put off the realities of the world.
