Why My Husband Refuses to Cover Our Son’s Tuition—and What I Did Next

Paul and I have been wed for fifteen years.

Paul has a teenage kid from his first marriage, and I have an 18-year-old son named Jude from a past relationship.

Paul and Jude have a close relationship that has grown over time. He has been Jude’s encouraging stepfather, helping with homework, going to school meetings, and sharing in Jude’s accomplishments.

I always believed that mutual respect and understanding were the foundation of our blended family’s success. But I recently encountered an unforeseen obstacle. The expense of tuition is exorbitant, and Jude will be attending college this year. I went to Paul in the hopes that we could split the cost. I was sh0cked when he declined.
