My husband, who lives with me and therefore absorbs all the blah blah blah that I blah all the time, has a dream of his own.
He would LOVE to be a personal trainer. This would be a great thing for him- he LIVES and BREATHES fitness. And God Bless Him, my eyes have started to glass over a little bit listening to it.

Okay- so awesome. There are online courses available to get certified to be a personal trainer.

This is where the opportunity/um....part I might not like is. Remember his learning disablity? What this means is that by the time he gets certified, there is a 95% chance that I will also be able to get certified because I will have been so involved in helping him understand what he was trying to read, or reading it to him, etc.

How would you deal with this? I believe that he should be able to make his own dreams come true and I'm here to support that, the way he has supported me also, but I struggle with taking it on 100% the way this is going to require me too.
What is sad is that he knows this, and he will just not go for it because he realizes how much it's going to require from me.
I am not him, so I have no idea how stunting his learning disability actually is. I don't know how much is in his head, or how much is possible if he learns to learn. I don't know if it's possible to get any better- this learning disability stems from going without oxygen for just a little too long as an infant. I have no idea what that means. What I know is that he has a hard time reading, and because it's hard for him to read, he doesn't have a way of understanding what it is that he read.
The online course comes with a hardcopy of the 700+ page handbook.
*I* do not want to become a personal trainer. And *I* am not sure I want to dedicate hours each night to reading and learning and helping- is that the meanest thing you've ever heard??????????
Boo. I feel like hell for that. He deserves his dreams to come true too.
I suck.
