hang in there Always...my w feels the same way. She feels that I don't contribute enough with the kids...and I've heard through the grapevine that her biggest problem wiht me is that I am too stingy with money....Whhhaaaaaaaaaa?! That floored me...everything I have ever done has been for my family. I'll give her that I'm not always there emotionally but fiscally? This from a person who we've had to fix her credit at leaST 4 times during our marriage because she has no clue how to even balance a checkbook. who racked up over $1,000 in parking tickets when she working downtown...WHEN SHE HAD HER OWN PARKING SPACE... but it wasn't close enough to the front door!!!
I have NO "toys", boats, jet skis, new car, sporting equip, whatever...3 pairs of shoes...never go anywhere...and my wardrobe is at least from the early 2000's. LOL Not to mention that because her crdit was always so bad that the mortgage is in my name alone and we agreed to stop paying the mortgage while our short sale goes through...so she's living in a 2300 sq ft, 4 bedroom home completely "rent" free while driving a 3 year old car while mine is 9...she has no debt since it's all on me...so her entire paycheck goes to her and the kids while they are there. Me, on the other hand, had to take on a 2nd residence (her idea) and ALL our debt...her net disposable income for outweighs mine right now because I've been such a controlling bully with our money (sarcasm)...and I don't contribute enough? Believe nothing what she says and only half of what she does...breath, breath, breath...
Sorry...just venting...your W sounds like mine a bit. I fully intended to post positives to cheer you up. hey, here's a joke for you...I'll keep it clean. LOL
"An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally said that the bar was closing. So the Irishman stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.
Once outside he stood up and fell flat on his face. So he decided to crawl the 4 blocks to his home. When he arrived at the door he stood up and again fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and into his bedroom.
When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into bed and was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting, "So, you've been out drinking again!!"
"What makes you say that?" he asked, putting on an innocent look.
"The pub called -- you left your wheelchair there again."
