Not having a great day

Root canal yesterday, ongoing back issues, and my husband acts like a teenager most of the time. Working on mostly one income (mine) for over a year and a half now. Which wouldn't be quite so bad, but my husband is a spender. I haven't been able to do the things I need to do to get well- physically, emotionally, mentally. I am not much of a priority. I try to set boundaries and it just turns into an argument. Every. Single. Time. So I just don't, anymore. It was worse for me mentally. So here I am. Whenever I speak up or try to tell him how I feel about anything- even when he specifically asks- I'm in the wrong, or the bad guy, and it turns into an argument. So I do my best to shut up and carry on. I try to stay positive, but I really feel like crying a good part of the time.

It's not all terrible, but just getting to me today and I needed to vent. Not looking for advice or suggestions- trust me, I've tried almost everything. Just needed to get a bit of it out.

Sorry to to hear you’re having issues on multiple fronts (and backs lol). Seriously…. If he’s not bringing in the dough, he doesn’t get to spend like he is. That should be a rule. Maybe it will give him an incentive to get back to work. Hugs to get you through your rough day. 🤗🤗

@Ambroseguy80 He works, just not a traditional job and it doesn't bring in much. I try to be as supportive as I can, but I'm wearing myself thin.

@VendettaVita sounds like you’re being a saint.

@Ambroseguy80 I am far from perfect. If I was a saint, it wouldn't bother me.

@VendettaVita I wouldn’t want to put that kind of pressure on you, me or anyone. ;)

Saints weren’t perfect people. Just more dedicated.
