Does anyone have a husband who acts like they are better than them since they enlisted?
Looking around this site I've noticed nothing but positivity which is great! I was nothing short of proud of my husband when he joined the navy, graduated boot camp, graduated A school and is about to start respiratory tech C school. Although not all can and will be good; especially for the wife, who in my opinion has the hardest job of all. A couple of months after joining I've started to see subtle changes in him. Before he enlisted he and I were both in college, high school sweethearts etc and everything was fine, but now everything has changed. After boot camp his A school was at Fort Sam Houston, not long after, me and our 6 month old at the time moved there as well. I know absolutely no one here in Texas whereas my husband naturally had the camaraderie of his fellow classmates. It has been so lonely. Family is thousands of miles away and I haven't met anyone here. When he's at school its just me and our daughter alone in the apartment, and I look forward to the weekends when he comes home. Yet he comes home with this attitude that he is better and smarter than me because he is in school and I'm not, talking to me as if I'm beneath him. We may not be here long enough for me to start back school and the thought of online school would drive me insane. I have been looking for work but no luck yet. I'll ask him to change our daughter's diaper and he asks me "REALLY??" as if he shouldn't have to do things like that. Has anyone else had the experience of the spouse acting like the are better than they are? Sorry for the long schpeel just had to vent.

Tell him he's being an ass. In a loving way, of course. Perhaps have him read what you just posted here.
"I feel put down and taken for granted when you talk down to me."
"I feel like a servant when you will not help with caring for our child".
Have you checked with the base facility for help with seeking employment? Navy would call it Fleet and Family Services, I think the Army is Army One Source. I did find the chaplain faith-based counseling services, which include individual and marital counseling. I don't know if that would be of use to you. Sometimes just talking and being given some ideas and resources is helpful. They may be able to point you toward "mommy and me" activities so you can get out and meet other military spouses.
Good luck.
