Love & Resentment
I love my husband. I don't want to leave him,just his laziness. He's been unemployed much too long. I understand that it's a bad economy,being laid off is depressing,I know it's hard. But I've been laid off twice before. I hopped from one temp job to the next,in order to make ends meet. I've worked 2-3 part times at once. Now I work full time,with overtime,and we're barely living checl to check. When I get home i'm absolutely drained....but the placeis a ** mess! I just cleaned last night. He just won't do anything. Has he given up? I'm supposed to be supportive no matter what,but i'm about burned out. What will happen if i add a night job? I'm perpetually broke it seems,i'm mending my work clothes...if he's depressed,i'll stick by him no matter what. But i don't know how much more i can take. I'm so very tired.
He's sapping the energy right out of you. You need to get him off his ** and out looking for work. Sure, he doesn't want to hear that and the fact you HAVE to do it makes him less a man in your eyes but it's your only hope. Well, the other option is to leave him. Good luck.
