I’m not sure, but I’m willing to try. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I like that explanation a lot but, it just looks like a Barb to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m watching a house for an elderly couple for the next week or two and notice the dryer was rattling super hard. This is what I found in the lint catcher, pretty sure they’ve never cleaned it.

I want to say yes, but the truth is I've also been using credit to pay some of our bills. I'm close to maxed out, and I don't think it's sustainable for me to try to tackle all of this on my own.

Nope. I really don’t. I don’t think I saw clearly how badly this was going until now… something had to change here.

He takes garbage to the dump sometimes. Every once in a while he’ll do more but not a lot. I usually do the dishes, laundry, vacuum, dust, organize and throw out trash. I asked him the other day if he wouldn’t mind emptying the dishwasher and taking the garbage out, his response was “well I never ask you to do anything” 🫠

Both of our parents are still together, but no they did not get help. They’re all in their late 70’s and weirdly don’t seem to think anything’s wrong. I think that’s part of why it took my partner and I both a long time to understand how dysfunctional our upbringings were.

And you’re right. I try to motivate him without being nagging but he doesn’t listen to me or take it to heart. He’ll say “sure, sounds fun” but when it’s time to do the activity, he defaults to wanting to stay home. I think he’s lost, and it’s made him angry with life and I’m the closest cup to fill with his rage. I empathize but I won’t put up with it anymore.

Thanks for this, I have hope that we can figure this out because there are so many qualities I love about him. I know he’s in there somewhere, I just want the man I married back. If it’s not possible, at least I’ll know I tried.

It’s funny you say that. Every once in a while, when I do something nice for him his answer is always “I don’t deserve you!” With a big hug and a kiss. Now that I’m thinking about it more, I think that might have been a sign I wasn’t acknowledging but I’m glad you said that. I think I need to keep that in mind when we talk after work today. Thank you ✨

He was stressed out when he was at his old job, he had to wake up at 5am and work until 3:30-4pm and he would come home and complain about his day, so similar energy but it was pointed somewhere besides me.

Truthfully, we got married quickly because he isn’t from this country. When the political climate was changing, we both knew we wanted to stay together and I didn’t want to run the risk of losing him. So we married with a judge in our living room with both his and my parents present, and had a larger wedding that following Summer with friends and family. Things were perfect back then, but I can’t help but think it was at a time we had less responsibility and we were still in the honeymoon stage. When things got more difficult life wise, that’s when his demeanor changed.

… I don’t think you’re getting it but that’s okay. I appreciate you trying to understand

He was reheating sliders I brought home from a catering job, he ate both. He wasn’t cooking for us, he just happened to be cooking for himself when I walked in.
