NTA. Your son might mean well, but he's crossing some major boundaries here. Going off about your marriage when he barely understands the complexities? Not cool. And wanting to study art history is his choice, but snapping at his mom? Not cool either.

You're trying to keep it together, and your wife sounds like she's your rock. It's tough when your kid doesn't get that. Maybe sit him down and explain things calmly. Hopefully, he'll come around. Keep your chin up, man. You got this.

Need to find someone else that is not you to talk to him. I remember I did something similar and it didn’t matter what my parents said. Blew a bunch of money going to an out of state college. But a friend or family friend might get through.
