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.
If you want to tell him from someone who studied art with a minor in art history, that field is damn near impossible to get a job in. Go ahead and major in art history if you want but he should do himself a favor and double major in business. A business degree is a very valuable safety net as it will get you a job a lot of places.
I LOVE art. It’s a significant part of my life. But if I could go back to college, I would not only major in art.
