Dear peach456:

Welcome to the club of the complaining wives, wives complaining about hard working, faithful husbands.

Let’s see about your list of complaints:

1) Your husband is away from you too many hours making money to support you. (shame on him for attending to earning a living instead of accomplishing the impossible: attending to you and to work, and being at two different places at the same time).

2) He sleeps too late on his days off. Again, the selfishness, to sleep late on his days off. How dare he be tired?

3) He likes to watch TV and films. Again, selfish.

4) He resists doing new things… but wait, so do you, this is why you are not making NEW friends and doing new things in your new location, isn’t it?

5) He is responsible for your anxiety and depression, your loneliness and boredom.

And this is after eight years of knowing him. No wonder men live significantly shorter lives than women.

Change your attitude, be his best friend, accept his imperfections and your own! Work with him, not against him. Have some empathy for him. Stop giving him a hard time. Take care of yourself. He is not your father and you are not his minor child. Your mental health is not HIS responsibility. Have some mercy on him.

If you can’t do these things, leave him alone. Let him be. You will be doing him a favor.

which will it be?
