Life sucks. I work he stays home and takes care of the house and money. I am at the end of my rope. Any thought or help please
HI Susan,
Have you and your husband ever tried counsoling, or seen a doc of any kinde. I have done the therpy thing with my husband and it was helpful. I am sending you 100000 hugs.
god I don’t know what to say Susan except I hear you and I feel for you. I took xanax too. I don’t have a house, kids or a partner and have some trouble managing my own life. Sounds like you have a really full plate. I am impressed you can work out side of the home for so many hours. I am not there yet. Keep hope alive. Careplace really helps me.
You deserve a break today, and it does not need to be at McDonald's! My first impression is that your husband may be depressed. Counseling is a good first step, if you can get him to go along with it. He may not realize that he's depressed, or he may be embarrassed to admit it. Or I could be totally wrong, imagine that! Is there a chance that he was just not feeling well? I tried being a househusband for a few months. I was miserable! Perhaps his adjustment strategy is to withdraw. I hope you can work it out. Take care of yourself, and make sure you get enough rest.
Hugs, Aaron
