Good morning. Time to face another day. You know, I still wake up each morning hoping that what I am going through is just a bad dream. LOL. I look over at the empty side of the bed and realize that it is just one more day that I need to stand up for my family.
I know what you mean about the money thing. I am in a similar sitch as my W is in school and only working part time. I have noticed that she does still seem to be able to spend our money just fine though. I told her that we need to sit down and come up with a budget and stick to it. She agreed, however, we still need to take the time to actually do it. I think when we look at the bank statement and talk about the different expenses and she sees hers versus mine she may get the idea that we can't afford to eat out or to buy new clothes right now. At least that's MY plan. Maybe a similar tactic would work for you.
You see she is the one who has been paying the bills and watching over our financial sitch. It hasn't been good this past year and we are on the verge of losing everything. We just need to get to the end of May. By then she will have graduated and begin to work full time. Then we should be able to get back on track as far as the money goes.
I am committed to my W. When we got married I told her that I wanted her to have a career that she loved as I have one. I told her to figure out what it was then we'd work together to make sure it happens. I don't walk out on my promises. I am going to see that one through no matter where she is living or what she is doing. I also promised to love her in good times and in bad and I am doing that too.
I will be here when she wants to come home. I just hope that she doesn't take too long.
Keep up the good work you are doing amazing things and you WILL be able to survive this and make a better life on the other side.
