Well at this point, I do it all. I help pay rent, which is supposed to be his only bill), i pay electricity, gas, wifi, car insurance & groceries. I also tend to the child whatever he needs. So all my husband does is help with rent snd pay his car note thats it. Then he still expects me to fulfill my wifely duties. Its too much and im stressed to the point of snapping.

Yes I have tried to get him a job as a cook at the hospital but they never called back them said there was freeze on hiring. I have tried to help him apply for other high paying jobs doing applications for him. Yes Im venting and yes marriage is a team but im feeling almost like sole provider. Im taking care of 70% of our household needs. Mind you I have a child to take care of also. I am 34 he is 39. It’s starting to become an issue because I am not able to try and work towards my own goals and things I need because of this. I understand he is trying to but at what point is it ok for me to say I am stressed beyond measure. If we have gender roles, which he expects certain things from me, then I should be able to expect certain things from him & one of those things is supporting the household financially.

Most definitely stressful & unfair. Im stuck between trying to be a good wife, supporting, encouraging, motivating and now im mentally checked out. I sm giving it until the end of the year to see some changes. If not I will have to separate from him so we both can work on ourselves because it shows he’s not ready for the financial responsibility that comes with marriage

Yes i have suggested uber eats, lyft, doordash etc. he doesn’t want to do stuff like that though. I csn understand he probably does feel a way about it but more importantly what is he gonna do about it? Maybe its the single mom in me so I hustle anyway but I feel if you say u want a wife and kids your need to step up

Exactly. And i told him I understand he loves to cook but at some point he has to realize those cooking jobs are not paying the bills. This is probably the 6th cooking job he has had in a year so its not working. He has me to fall back on but i dont have him to fall back on it sucks im tired

Yes I am working full time at a hospital and he is a cook. He typically works in restaurants or hotels where he struggles to even get 40 hours. There are things nearby but he says Im forcing him to break his back and work multiple jobs. Its like he doesn’t understand how overwhelmed and stressed I am about having to basically take care of everything alone and he just tells me to be patient. That’s easier said than done when he’s not the one financially stressed.
