I'm pregnant. I lost my job because the pregnancy made me very sick (a lot of vomiting, migraines, anemia symptoms) and I missed too many days.  My income accounted for half of the household income.  I struggle to find a job that I can do, and a company willing to hire me. (Who would hire someone that plans to go on maternity leave and possibly stay home to care for an infant). 

Financially we're struggling pretty badly. My husband is very supportive and also feels the stress and worry about our financial situation. 

I've dropped a few hints about him taking a course that could qualify him for a higher paying job. The closer we are to becoming first time parents, the more desperate I feel. My husband doesnt handle stress well... he kind of shuts down, and I really don't want him to feel under appreciated. 

We dont argue, but I dont know how or if I should push the issue further.  I really dont want to accuse him of not doing his part, especially while I sit at home. 

Am i an asshole for wanting him to try to achieve more, and would i be an asshole if I pressured him to do so?
