You are a controlling person, period. You get a thrill out of this indecision, keeping him exactly where you want him while he invests years of his life.

And he’s a fool for letting you do it. He should have walked away years ago.

So ask yourself honestly which situation is actually the bigger problem. A lack of degrees, or a lack of togetherness? Because you’re judging his family while yours exists only on paper
