Is anyone having marital problems directly tied to financial difficulties? This is so scary. I'd never thought we'd be here.
22 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]yes. i know i am wrong but here it is: i resent my dh for not making enough money so that i can just work part time instead of full time. really have to stop myself from feeling angry and thinking of him as a loser. i know i am wrong and am working on it. :-(
[ Reply | Options ]op--I'm glad you said it because a part of me feels the same. We've always done well and I guess I feel resentful that now we are in such trouble. I'm also very scared. I know we have options, more than most but it's so scary right now.
[ Reply | Options ]that sucks. i love dh and he is my favorite person in the world but i would not have married him if i weren't reasonably certain that he'd make enough money so that i would not have to work. a lot of people would say that sounds "wrong" but i just think it's part of the whole deal of trying to find someone you can live with.

np - aren't you a little self-satisfied. i do not think she is admitting anything horrible. if it was agreed that you'd raise your kids and he'd support that financially and then all of a sudden you are leaving them alone b/c he can't keep up his end of the deal, then you'd be pissed, too. of course, that doesn't apply to everyone, but don't be so superior

Yes. I am breadwinner, and luckily earn a very good living, but I am resentful. DH has had to declare personal bankruptcy and I had to cover his biz debts. It was awful. I guess if we got thru that we'll get thru anything, and at least he has a job after a year of unemployment, but I still resent it. We have a beautiful apt. and beach house and DC goes to private school, but I pay 90% of it and worry constantly that my biz will turn to s#@t.

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
