I'm sure it's emasculating not to be working full time. I don't ever make waves about it. I don't nag or belittle him. I'm supportive of the time he does work and that's that. I hope it's enough.

I try to view it as I'm responsible for all the bills. If he happens to contribute to the household expenses, great. If not, then it's no different than if he weren't there. Don't get me wrong, he does buy quite a bit of the groceries, I'm not saying he doesn't contribute. I just try to look at it as if it just doesn't matter. I'm in a much better situation with him there than I would be without him there.

The exercise definitely helps with the depression. I see a huge difference in my attitude about things. Those endorphines are stronger than drugs! smile I find that I don't break down and cry 1-2 times a day anymore. It's more like 1-2 times a week since I ratcheted up the exercise. I'm so glad about that.
