My husband and I have been married for over 5 years. While I love him, I’m tired and lonely. I do the majority of the chores because I work a 9-5 M-F and he works long hours that can be up to 60 hours a week. However, he will get days off during the week and hang out at home playing video games. Sometimes he will do a load of laundry, clean a counter, or do the dishes, but most of the thinking and work falls to me.
I’ve tried getting us into counseling, but again it’s on me to set it all up and get it going.
My grandfathers caregiver is leaving, so my mom (lives down the road) has offered me a job. It doesn’t make enough to make ends meet, but it will be something.
I could do both, but I would need to find a room mate and be very careful.
I could give it a year, see if my husband comes around, and if he doesn’t I’ll be finished with college and can get a better job.
I’m at a loss- all I know is I’m going crazy in this environment and something needs to change.
We don’t have kids.
