I understand homelessness is an issue in all areas. But isn’t it particularly strange to suddenly notice one home that has a boarded up door with “FTP” spray painted on the door.. with garbage and junk strewn about.. in a decent area, surrounded by no other homes that seem to have any visible issues..? No talk or news of a police raid or awareness in the surrounding neighborhoods.. this happened suddenly seemingly no home owner change on a property that seemed previously well cared for..

Not asking to be nosing, more so asking if this should be reported to bylaw? Maybe this person is in danger? Seems to be a very sudden change on the property. Wwyd?

FYI this is near Bruuham Food Mart.

I’m looking for encouragement. I know I don’t have biblical grounds for divorce. I’ve been focusing on how the suffering I’m going through in my marriage can make me more like Christ, and looking for it from that lense has helped me grown in my relationship with Him so much. I feel very fulfilled by my relationship with Jesus. But at night when my husband comes home and goes to bed, I am still feeling alone and used.

Long story short, we’ve been together 12 years, both were saved about 4 years ago and married a couple years ago. He is a good man who loves Jesus. I’m a SAHM with two young kids and I love Jesus too. He’s provides for our family and I’m grateful for that. Of course there are things would fix and could go on about but all in all it’s good.. or at least I’ve convinced myself that. All of my childhood and teenage years I was abused by families and boyfriends so this is my first and only healthy relationship, sometimes I wonder if maybe I’ve conceived myself that I have it good because maybe I don’t actually know how good it should be?

I feel totally burnt out, under appreciated and taken advantage of. When my husband is home from work, I cook, clean, and get the kids go bed from start to finish, while he watches TV. When we go places, I watch the kids and he socializes. When they’re sick, I do everything for us all. When the weekend comes around, I take them out to parks and organize fun things and do them with them mostly alone. When there’s something I want to do with him or for myself, he complains and always convinces me not to. When he wants to go out with friends or have friends over, I love to let him go and have fun or welcome his family and friends in. It’s not tit for tat, I don’t want to feel like or come across as I’m keeping score, but I want him to WANT to help, to do these things for me, to show me appreciation. It has gotten so bad to the point that I feel like I’m a single parent, but my bills are paid.

I’ve talked to him many times about this. He always says I’m right and he’s so sorry, but nothing ever changes. I pray and trust the Lord with my life and I know that’s enough. But I’m just curious if anyone has any advice on how I can get things to change? Honestly I wish I could just take the easy way out and not be with him anymore. I love him, but I don’t think he loves me. 😢
