Bar exam stress!

I feel so badly for my poor DH.  The bar exam is on Tuesday and Wednesday, and I totally broke down today.  I think the stress of the exam and the prospect of being unemployed with tons of debt afterward are weighing heavily on me.  I feel like I've been a mess since we got back from the honeymoon, and he's been shouldering a lot of the burden.

What do you think would be a good way to say thank you after the exam?  It needs to be cheap (free is even better!) and we've really been trying not to go out at all.  Any ideas of fun things to do to show him his wife isn't a total crazy woman and that she appreciates everything he's done for the past 2 months??

Re: Bar exam stress!

  • What about just a hand written letter thanking him for everything he's done for you and what he means to you.  I think I'd rather get than any day than a physical gift.  So much more heart goes in to a letter than anything you could purchase!

  • First, GOOD LUCK the next two days!  I've been there (4 years ago), and I assure you there's a huge and awesome wave of relief waiting for you sometime Wednesday afternoon.  You'll see.  Enjoy that feeling for a while and push everything else out of your mind, at least for a day or two.

    I'd put together a nice romantic dinner for him at home, maybe Friday night once you have your senses back.  Candles, music, and whatever his favorite meal is.  And be wearing lingerie under your clothes for a surprise "dessert".

  • I'm new to this board and haven't really said much yet, but first of all good luck!

    I think a nice hting to do would be plan a nice picnic or something where you can show that you care and spend quality time with him

    I definitely know where you are coming from- I am taking my board exam for physical therapy on Friday, and DH has certainly had my share of emotional breakdowns to deal with, so I will be in a similar situation as you, looking for a nice way to say thank you after the exam.

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
