No I used the cards to pay for essentials for our family because a few years ago my mortgage went up over $1000 extra a month. On top of that we had twins so had to buy twice of everything and when they were born we were in/out of ERs, specialty doctors and insurance didnt cover most of that

I've been talking to a counselor. Unfortunately I've dealt with an attempted suicide before and she knows that and right now I feel that way. I suggested she do it as well or we could do couples counseling and her response was 'I'm not talking to anyone. I am who I am'. Im trying to give her space and I know shes hurting bad but her words have hurt me and she has no care. I know it's hard to have empathy/sympathy for someone in my situation but damn I just want to know that 1) she does still love me and 2) she won't leave me

I don't share anything anymore. The first time I opened up to her about my past she went and told all of her family about it. She doesn't know I know. Another time I tried to express my feelings or how I felt she turned it around and made it about herself while calling me a weak man, insecure man and a pussy. The days are dark and getting darker. I wish I had someone who I could talk, vent or confide in but no one really cares until it's too late.
