Wifes works, has steady income, works 4 10 hour days, has a 3 day weekend mostly every week.
I work on commission only, good months / not so good months. I work 12 to 14 hours during week and work weekends to catch up on what didn't get done during week. Just trying to survive so that we can make ends meet.
W and I don't can't seem to connect these days on issues like money, keeping up with the house.
The daughter that lives with us lives like a slob. Clothes end up where ever they land within the house. Sleeps where she wants. W doesn't do anything about it. Rooms looked like a hurricane went through. Neither daughter nor wife help with anything around the house... Dishes pile up, nothing get straightened up, let alone dusted or vacumed... W does help with the laundry...
W sits on computer for most of her time off doing facebook games or looking for deals on craigslist or freecycle. W also does not do anything housework wise like cleaning or vacumming... W may only cooks when she feels like it, otherwise everything is fast food. Will shop for necessary groceries like coffee or household items like laundry detergent, but not much else.
W also does not have any value of money... Tried to do many budgets, but they all fall apart due to wife spending habits. Just spends money whenever she feels like on whatever she wants and we just can't seem like we can't get a head monetarily... We can't even pay some bills...
If it gets done I do it... I do the bills, yardwork, housework, dishes.
I have tried to talk to wife about how I feel. It is like it does not register...
W was diagnosed as being bi-polar. So now taking medication... I am hoping and praying that the med's will help....
I love my wife, but I am not sure how much I can take living in a house and with individuals who don't seem to care about a whole lot of anything.
I feel very discouraged. My patience is running out...
Feel like I am on a treadmill that won't stop or on a road to nowhere...
What is a husband to do in this situation... I don't want to end up with another fail marriage!!! Any advice would be deeply appreciated...
