It's been a while and I need to vent...
My hubby has been downing on me on getting a job. Finally he's agreed to let me get my old job back while he's Mr. Mom. Before he agreed, he was being a total jackass. He told me off when I wanted to discuss, calmly, about our issues to better our relationship and he made it sound like I was the problem. When he encouraged me on looking for land and mobile home of my choosing so we can save up for it, he then started saying I'm going to far and not thinking about his credit. When I try talking to him about a job he was supportive on me looking but when I got a lead he said his $8.50/hr job is superior than my $10/hr job and that I should stay home. Thing is, when it comes to saving up I'm more responsible than he is. He hasn't saved anything for shit. I saved $20 of my allowance he gave me two months ago in case my daughter ran out of formula and I recently used it so she can eat. He spends it willy nilly. It pisses me off. I can pay the bills far better than he can, I can provide more responsibly than he while doing the mom role as well as the cook and maid of the damn household. I can be superior than he. Considering that he's been nothing but a man child lately especially with finding another job, helping me to get my license, making sure we have WIC and foodstamps which he failed to give me the information so we can be able to provide for us and for our daughter! I swear I honestly feel like I'm doing it all on my own and if it's like that then I'm going to act like it is. I am going to find out if I'm getting my old job back if I am then I'm going to make him look like he's my wife and see how he like it. Because I sure as hell don't appreciate how he is treating our situation
I feel like both of you feel unloved and disrespected at the moment and that's why you are fighting. I just went through this with my hubby. Because I felt like he didn't appreciate me being a stay at home mom and he was lashing out and treating me like that because he thought I didn't appreciate or respect how hard he works.. Its a really hard balance When someone is staying at home full time.
