Can This Be Salvaged?

[leopoldstotch]

Once again my W starts yelling at me tonight blaming me and saying its my fault I'm laid off. I just got back from storm work and was working 16 hrs a day for two weeks straight. We were able to pay quite a few bills and have some money saved now. I can understand how it must feel for her to have to get and go to work everyday while I'm home but its not like I sit and watch tv all day.

I do all the house cleaning, cooking etc and I'm also drywalling the house. I'm able to collect unemployment so its not like there is no money coming in. So I took Mr Bonds advice and told my W its not my fault we don't have any work right now and I don't enjoy being home. Its not even like I've been off for months on end. I've worked quite a bit over the last two months. Well she still didn't want to hear what I had to say.

In case I haven't explained when I get laid off I have to call my union hall and get my name on the list. I am not allowed to solicit my own work I have to wait until a contractor calls the hall looking for men. So I can be called back to work at anytime. The phone can ring tomorrow with a job. I've been in this trade for 25 years and layoffs are nothing new. I have been extremely lucky in that I've rarely been out of work this year being the exception. Even explaining that falls on deaf ears. I'm tired of being told it's my fault. Just venting here cause its just no use fighting with my W over this.
