I've had an exceptionally long day at work today and I am exhausted, but I feel good.
Lately I have enjoyed coming home. For the last 6 months I hated it. I would walk through the door each day and would have to listen to every single detail of my Husband's day. He never had anything positive to say.He never asked how my day was, he would just complain about whatever the kids did to annoy him.
So now things are different at home. The kids seem happier, they don't all hide out in their rooms, they actually sit in the living room and spend time together. That was one of the things that really bothered me, our family time basically disappeared. It didn't matter what was going on, my Husband always found a way to be the center of attention and ruin everything.
As far as MLC goes, I don't know if that's what's wrong or if he is just a selfish and mean person who refuses to grow up.
He acts like a belligerent teenager. He is depressed. He has huge bouts of self pity.He wants a pat on the back every-time he does something and some type of recognition.It got to the point where I stopped asking for help because I would receive a lecture.
Yesterday I asked him to remove his name from our joint accounts at the bank, which he agreed to do. I signed the paperwork, it is done.He has no accountability when it comes to finances and is reckless and irresponsible.It's sad that after 30 years this is what has to happen.
I didn't mention that he has been unemployed for the past 18 months. But his response to this was that as he has supported the family for the past 30 years it is now my turn.He picks up some freelance jobs here and there, but not enough to support the family. And now that I removed his name from our accounts, I doubt very much that he will contribute in any way.
I need to respond to some of the posts I received, but first I have to get dinner started for the kids.
