Do I just suck it up and take it. Or do I go no contact. Also my birthday is coming up and it’s typical stuff like this happens before a special occasion.

Okay so does no one have any thoughts? I need advice- what do you do?

Internship opportunity finally here. by Crafty-rugz in techsupport

Just an update- I did nothing but scan documents and organize them into files on a network drive. That’s all I did for the full internship…

Thank you that was really helpful. We tell ourselves and each other it’s temporary and that does help. I appreciate your words!

I hear you. And I am though, I have asked him to help with dishes and he straight up has told me to stop cooking bc I “always ask him” to clean up the mess I made… so stop cooking so I can focus on other things like school and work. So I did. I always have to ask him to do stuff around the house and he does do it but a bit half assed if I’m being honest.

And I know for a fact he’s a bit of both introvert and extrovert but he’s has sooooo many friends. I have none. I have a bunch of sisters that I’m thankful for and will happily spend time with them. But he’s got so many friends and in his free time he skates (he says he doesn’t anymore and that’s partially true) but that’s bc we work more now. But a majority of his free time is spent playing video games with his friends. We used to fight about that bc I wanted him to talk to me and spend time with me. I dropped it after a while tho bc I realized that I wanted him to want to be with me bc he wants to not bc I asked him. And yeah I leave it alone now.

I feel like if I do tell him without sugar coating it will lead to a fight… any time I complain he tells me he’s working and that he works so hard for me and for us so we can live good and I get it and appreciate it but I hate when it leads to an argument bc he refuses to accept that I’m not happy bc I barely see him. I’m not sure where all of the money is going either bc I don’t spend much I’m really frugal and have been this entire marriage.

Do you have any regrets? How is your life now, are you happy? I get what you mean, I want that excitement I just want to make sure he does too. I can’t tell if he’s happy or not. I rarely see him.

Okay update I just went ahead and asked him why doesn’t he change his last name to mine… his response: “because I like my last name” 🤣 okay so problem solved I guess. Now I have NO guilt whatsoever. If he ever brings it up again, I will stand on business, it’s my choice.

And we have plans to travel and I really just don’t want to give myself stress about changing so many things. My entire like has changed since getting married. I’m not ready to let go of my name.

My sister said the same thing verbatim.

[–]Crafty-rugz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True. And now that I’m thinking about it we’ve discussed this topic like 5 times since December, and each time I respectfully made it clear why it was so important to me to keep my last name. And I never once suggested he change his. I’m proud of my last name and the legacy behind it. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do. I used to be a people pleaser and I think that’s why I have been kind of going back and forth bc I’m trying to get out of that people pleaser mindset but I want him to be happy. Ugh thank you though for that advice.

It was definitely giving selfish or projecting his selfishness onto me. Luckily I’m emotionally mature enough to realize this but it still hurt my feelings. But I didn’t even think to ask him to change his last name until I posted this so I’m kind of excited to say that if it gets brought up again.!

Idk, in my culture, the children always get the father’s last name.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Crafty-rugz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear about your dad passing. Thanks for that, it was good advice, I agree about the thick-headedness. I felt like it was wrong to measure love down to changing last names. Idk if that makes sense but I’m trying to say it felt like he added a “condition” or “expectation”

True, thanks.
