Yes I know what you mean. I have to admit that W does the same sorts of things for our family. It was something that she volunteered to do and I gladly accepted. She also has shouldered all the stress of our money problems. I admit that I don't handle money problems well. I am getting better at it, but it still isn't one of my better traits.
I never had to deal with poor credit, late pays, or overdue bills before I got married. Needless to say it was a shock to me. It has been part of our problems. I believe that my reaction to the money issues played a sizable part in my emotional and physical neglect of my W. It was something that really bothered me. I have since learned that it doesn't matter what our money sitch is if I have my family. I wish I had known before what my reaction would lead to. Live and learn I guess.
I can tell you that the stuff I have been reading of late from the rejoice ministries site has given me new hope for saving my M. I also feel an increased strength in my stand for my M. I believe that pray and my faith will play a big part in how I get through this. Because I am planning on getting through this. I don't yet know how, or when, but I AM going to do it and I know you can too!
