We didn't date very long at all actually. We didn't get that "Getting to know you" time most people enjoy before we had our first crisis and that was the oldest D cutting. A month after that she was raped while at her biodads. Not long after that W decided to quit her job and go to college. Not long after that she moved in with me.
So you see we've only known each other four years total but we've had a lifetime of crisis to deal with. We'll be married for three years this November.
She always had a problem with the house. She hates this house and blamed me for things I didn't do to it before we even met. I'm not a handyman. My skills don't work that way, I suck at it actually. She wanted it all fixed up but she barely worked part time most of the time she was in school and still I managed to get some repairs done on my income.
Sexually I lost interest. She has a temper and eventually I just lost my desire for sex on a regular basis like I had with her before. Those were the key things that caused friction, I mean other than the regular crisis that popped up like us being so broke I took a part time job at Walmart.
She wanted to do normal couple things together but for the most part we were so broke I was overwhelmed with medical bills. To give you an example of what we dealt with over our marriage and a bit before it breaks down like this, cutting D, raped D, strike at my job, my dad dies while on strike, I took a job delivering food during strike, her dad's house burned in fire, her dad moved in with us for a while, our vehicles vandalized, three of them, our fence vandalized, attempted suicide by D, many emergency room visits and hospital stays. That's just off the top of my head, there is at least half a dozen more I'm not thinking of but just as serious.
She said we never felt like a normal couple that just does things.
