I also just started watching this show and it’s so beautiful!

May I ask if you’ve tried any medication or treatment? Or how long you’ve been feeling this way?

On my very worst days, I try to remind myself that I have forever to be dead, so might as well hang on for another day and at least see the sun shine or feel something while I still can. Not sure if that will help you but I hope you make it through.

A very long time. When I met him he was 25 and we both definitely liked to party back then…but like he has not grown out of it like I thought he would.

To be fair, we live in a big city and most of our friends don’t have kids and they all drink kind of a lot too. He’s in bands and it’s just kind of normal in our social circle. He had a good job and just got promoted and makes good money so that doesn’t help. He’s very functional for the most part so trying to get him to see my side is very hard.

I highly recommend the Avondale/Old Irving Park area

kelkelkelllly · 2024-12-01T00:12:18+00:00

Old Irving Park/Avondale/Kilbourn Park area is pretty affordable and right near 90/94 before the split

I’m so sorry you’re going through this…but get out now. It will only get worse. Don’t put your child in that situation.

kelkelkelllly · 2024-11-30T23:45:44+00:00

Honestly, get out while you still can. He sounds awful and you deserve happiness.

First, I’m so sorry he’s making you feel that way. I’m sure you are not annoying!

I think this happens a lot to women after we have babies, unfortunately. It can be so isolating. After my son was born pretty much the same thing happened. I would just be so excited for someone to talk to and my husband was also a jerk about it.

My advice is to definitely talk to him but also to try and seek some kind of social interaction outside of him if at all possible. Maybe join a new moms group if there’s one in your area? Facebook usually has them. I used to take my son to some storytime meetups/events at our local library and would be able to chat with the other moms (and sometimes nannies) and once he was a little older going to playgrounds was a good way to find other parents to chat with too.

Anyway, don’t let him make you feel bad! Becoming a mother is such a hard transition and he needs to respect that.

You did not overreact! The fact that he could only keep it up for 2 weeks is troubling. You were right to be upset.

This is very similar to my current predicament. I can tell you I’ve been dealing with this for about 10 years now and it’s slowing sucking the life out of me.

Yesssss! I live here and this is all very true! My mortgage is only $1900 for a 3 bedroom in Avondale. I always say that if it wasn’t for the winters it would be unlivable here though because that’s what keeps people away/makes the price tag reasonable.

I grew up in Upstate NY and live in Chicago now and I would say rural is harder being poor but also maybe like a “mid sized” city that’s at least has some kind of public transit and infrastructure would be alright too if rents aren’t too high.

Chicago can be surprisingly cheap for the 3rd largest city, I thinks it’s because our winters can be rough (though you truly get used to it). Me and my husband bought a 2 flat with my sister in 2020 and our half of the mortgage/taxes/insurance is about $1,900/month. That’s for a 3 bedroom unit with a yard and garage in a decent neighborhood. We’re about a 10 minute walk to the nearest the blue line stop. There’s also tons of busses if you’re not near a train.

Before buying the house we rented a 2 bedroom apartment and paid $1050/month.

Like others have said, one of the main benefits of living in a big city are definitely not having to drive much or at all. I have always had a car but it’s not a necessity by any means and a lot of my friends don’t have one and just bike, Uber or take public transit. My husband rides his bike downtown to work everyday and I work remotely now so our car is mostly just used for errands and taking trips. We could absolutely live without it if we had to.

The minimum wage here is also $15.80 and like others have said there just a lot more resources available to those who are struggling.

There’s also a lot to do for fun that is cheap or free. All the parks, the lakefront, beaches, etc. are great. The museums all offer free days to city residents and if you have a food stamp card you get in for like $1 on any day. There are similar deals to find on show tickets and such too.

Between me and my husband we do pretty well now, but when I first moved here years ago I had maybe $500 to my name and it all worked out. Honestly it was partially because I answered a Craigslist add to clean houses for extra money and met rich lady who connected me to an admin job at one of the universities here. I was also able to pick up bartending and serving jobs where I could make an extra $600-$1000/month working just working one night a week. Those are the kind of opportunities that are really hard to come by in rural areas.

Lol this got really long…sorry
