My husband has a good life.

@GunFinger As someone whose better half would be gone for weeks, sometimes months at a time with the breather at home only lasting a couple of days before it started all over again, I understand how much falls on you to keep everything going on the home front. The exhaustion on many levels is real and that help needed can be extremely hard to come by. I was one who never asked for it because I was that much in a Supermom mode 24/7. And when he was home, I didn’t want him lifting a finger because I felt that he deserved to rest when he was home because of not only how hard he was working for us out there, but also because he was giving me the supreme gift of not having to work. But the difference in our situations is that my kids are older than yours. The days are making seven trips to town in a day taking them to work or practices was over for me by the time we started that chapter. The kids were at an age where they were more independent and could help me out a lot…something they really wanted to because even though I tried to hide it, they could sense I was struggling with so many things sometimes. And even though he would be exhausted when he came home, my better half didn’t shy away from wanting to help me out in any way he could. He knew how difficult it was for me to have the household on my shoulders when he was away and wanted to lessen the load in any way he could in the short time allotted. That right there is what I wish you had. I very rarely took him up on his offer, but to just have it be an option means so much in the partnership two people have.

So, while I have understanding for what you’re going through, I know it would matter more if that understanding came from your husband. Keep that line of communication open with him because a lot of time if the hints are there, they still won’t know what’s going on inside your head because theirs is that exhausted and in recharge mode. Something your mind experiences a ton during a chapter like this. Don’t be afraid to ask for help either. Not just from him. Don’t let your pride stand in your way there like I did. We can only do so much, man. Find the breathers where you can and if you haven’t been told lately…you’re doing awesome over there. We see you and that incredible strength getting you from one moment to the next.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart you are so right. Thank you so much for your reply. It means so much for someone to understand. I always need these when I'm down and no one physically to turn to.

@GunFinger You’re welcome. My inbox is always open during those times in case you need to be reminded you’re not alone. One day at a time.

@Adogslife what's an average dog?

@GunFinger One that just lays around and does nothing, sleeps, and watches you work out of the corner of his eye.

Only shows emotion when it’s time to play…
