I am doing a lot of soul searching and evaluating if he and I have a future together. He made some extremely poor choices late last year that I am trying to reconcile, along with forgetting my birthday and his recent comment about not celebrating my graduation. I'm loyal and I don't want to throw away a relationship, but I also deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. He is not treating me the way I deserve to be treated right now.

I’m glad you know your worth! And that you’re already evaluating. Hugs.

I'd be feeling a little down as well. What an amazing accomplishment. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) I'd see if I could sign up late, and go walk that stage! ((hugs)) to you!

Well, I finished! I submitted my last assignment last night, took my finals, and I am DONE!! It has been a hell of a week (a lot of other things going on causing stress) and I am running on about 7 hours of sleep since Monday night, but I am so relieved!
Thank you again for all the lovely messages, encouragement, praise, and support. I ❤️ my pea family. Some of you reached out for my address and I’ll message you this weekend. You ladies are the sweetest!

Congratulations Craftymom! No easy feat, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself. I am! I was 30 when I started college and I went 6 years straight, full time, and obtained my AA, BA and M. Ed in counseling.
It isn’t easy! Congratulations!

Not wanting to fly out for a boring ceremony is NOT the same as not caring. Your parents have shown you they care, they have supported you financially and that suggests to me they understood the importance of this to you, and have probably [reading between the lines here] supported you emotionally over the years as well. Honestly unless you are a young adult and this is the biggest thing you've done in your life, making other people FLY to sit through a ceremony shouldn't be this important to you. You've been married, you've had 2 children, the achievement of getting a degree is great...well done, the ceremony is meaningless. You put in the work and you've been successful...you did it for you and your kids (I assume) to give you a better career options/money. YOU should be proud of that. Having other people congratulate you should also be enough. Why do they need to be there in person? You want to deliberately ruin this for yourself by making a big deal of people not flying & sitting for two hours to watch you get a piece of paper for 2 minutes? Be happy that you finished, be happy that you have parents who have supported you, be gracious when they congratulate you and don't get all pissy that "no one cares about you". That's just juvenile, you are a grown women with your own family and leading your own life, you can't expect others to make accommodations based on your priorities. Who pissed in your Cheerios? You have no right to try and shame her for her feelings. They are hers whether you would feel the same way or not is not relevant. Congratulations on finishing your degree, I hope you land a great job with it.

I'm sorry, but the bolded does say it all. Finishing your degree IS a huge accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated. His award also is something to be celebrated, but to make it one over the other instead of saying "we" have a lot to be proud of, he made it about him.

Congratulations! What an accomplishment!
And please don't hold it too much against your parents. I would walk through fire to be hit by a bus for my children. But I really hate graduation ceremonies. At least high school ones I know some of the kids so it's a little less torture, but the college ones? As proud as I've been - OMG. PSU read the names of every single kid graduating from each school. And my daughter had two majors. We had to sit through every engineer and every kid in liberal arts and sciences.

Congrats! This is a big deal! I’m sorry your family can’t be there.
As for your bf, you are right that he is not treating you the way you deserve to be treated. You did far more than get an award! If can’t acknowledge that, then . . .
I’d love to send you a card, please pm me your address! You should be celebrated for this accomplishment!

I graduated! The ceremony was last Friday (I did not attend). I’m sending PMs tonight with my address. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) I’ve already received two cards (and a lovely package!) from Pea friends and I’m working on thank you cards this weekend. Thank you, Peas. Other than my mom sending me a bouquet of flowers, my family was silent about my graduation. The support and kindness I’ve received here is something I will never forget. ❤️
