Financial troubles and relationships
Robert lost his job November 26th, 2008. It’s now January 4th, 2009.
How have we been doing since he’s been out of work?? Not great.
Apparently not having money to pay the bills makes him mad at ME. It seems that way sometimes anyway.
It’s not like I’m not stressing over bills too. I’m in the same boat as he is.
I know as well as he does that we don’t have $403 to pay the light bill. This bugs me too. I will be without electricity just like him if it doesn’t get paid. So will our three kids.
With him not working, he nit picks at me about everything. I feel like I’m not doing ANYTHING right, but EVERYTHING wrong!
So when I’m grilling a sandwich and he made a comment about it not cooking… I kind of went off. I’m tired of feeling like I’m worthless and not doing anything right.
Earlier when I was folding laundry, he was at my desk looking for the light bill that we can’t afford. He was griping about the old bills from October being on my desk.
Mind you, had I been at my desk, he would have been complaining about the laundry piling up.
I feel like I can’t win for losing.
I plan on going to try to get assistance for the light bill tomorrow, by the way. So maybe that will release some of his… ‘whatever the problem is that makes him nit pick at me and blow up when I finally crack and say something’… built up anger.
