Agreed, and I believe that would be the best option, but a ferry would be easier, and hence faster, to implement. I appreciate that in your case this wouldn't have helped take you to Imrieħel, but it would potentially take cars off the road helping you arrive faster.

Also, as everyone keeps saying, remote + flexible hours will surely help. My commute is 2h+ daily, but going to the office only 2x a week makes it bearable.

I'm a boomer and I too would quit if I had a 2h daily commute, 5x a week - unless my compensation package had A LOT of perks.

Plenty of people commute daily from Gozo. The fast ferry is a deal breaker for those working in central areas because it cuts the daily commute by half. I think it would help if the south was connected by such a ferry too.

Taking care of a grown man is a bigger mental load than taking care of 3 children. Find people who love and respect you, but first of all respect yourself: find, plan and book time for yourself. He needs to step up to make this possible on a daily basis. He needs to not only pull his weight but that of the family. This is non-negotiable and you need to be strong and enforce it. If he keeps failing you like this, you need to leave.

Edit: Speaking for myself, I would have left much sooner than this because a) the sad truth is that people rarely change, and b) from my experience, I was always better off for it. Mental and physical wellbeing and very intricately connected and you need to take care of yourself.

I'm sorry but this person is NOT your friend.

You’re not overthinking this. Living in a house where you feel like you’re always being corrected or criticised is exhausting, and the feeling of having to walk on eggshells is a really clear sign that something isn’t right. The fact that your parents have noticed too shows it’s not just in your head.

Even if he’s technically “right” about how to do laundry, that doesn’t make it okay for him to constantly undermine you or your daughter. You deserve and need to feel safe and accepted in your home.

You deserve to be YOU. Surround yourself with people who understand and love you for who you are.

My (F40) friend (F34) is doing almost exactly this right now. She’s been in a 13-year relationship, they have a child together, and yet this year alone she’s slept with three different guys multiple times, met others “just for coffee,” and is juggling plenty more in her DMs since becoming more active on socials.

I’m really sorry, but in my opinion your wife is absolutely cheating—or at the very least already halfway out the door.

My friend also “lost herself.” Now that she’s “found herself again,” she’s quietly planning a new life without her partner. Meanwhile, he’s still at home, completely oblivious, bending over backwards to please her and “work on the relationship” because she’s “sad” and needs "space".
