Just another unhappy housewife.
I’m sick to death of my husband.
He has no major faults but the little things he won’t change are becoming too much. He won’t change his job to meet our family needs, even though I have the connections to make it happen.
His job involves a lot of paperwork that I have very unhappily done for decades (I have my own unrelated job). I have asked him to learn the bookkeeping system and check emails and he says he will.. but doesn’t.
He won’t get his hearing or sight addressed so I am constantly talking to someone who can’t hear me. When he does hear he doesn’t listen or pay attention.
We are “the Jones family”
Everyone thinks we amazing bcos of our home and kids and 20 year marriage.
There is no one I can talk to in my family, friends or workplace. It isn’t socially acceptable in our religion to separate or divorce. And the shame! We are the pillar, the example of how to do it all.
I don’t have any solutions but the frustration is becoming darkly consuming. I want change – but don’t tell me to leave him. Some people’s lives aren’t that simple.
