I’m starting to resent my wife.
This all started back in October last year after she quit her job. We talked about her quitting and agreed it was for the best. In the mean time we agreed she would go back to school and get a certification that would’ve taken 4 months in the mean time she was supposed DoorDash to make some extra money to help out with bills while I continued to work full time 60+ hours a week. I was also the one paying for the entire school.
Only problem is she never doordashed and she never did her school work either. She decided it was best to actually sleep in everyday until 10-11am and then stay in bed for another hour after that. Then she would litteraly just lay in bed all day on her phone. The only thing she ever did that I recall during this time was pick up groceries every week…. But I would still come home to and cook because she wouldn’t.
Everyday it was me calling her from my job every 30 minutes starting around 7am telling her to wake up and get ready and it would follow with her telling me “give me 30 minutes “ 7 would turn to 7:30 the to 8:30 until 10-11 when she finally decided she didn’t need “30 more minutes “ anymore. By the time it was December we were dead broke. We were living off $50 a week because that’s all I had left on my checks after paying the bills I was alone in paying. Her school she wasn’t doing included.
All this got brought back up because I was going through the paystubs on DoorDash from last year and I saw with my own eyes just how much she fucked me off. October statement $0 , November $17.50, December $30, January $0, February $14.33. Seeing that brought back up those feelings I had during that time. Like seeing it visually just made me so mad for some reason. Now I can’t stop thinking about what she did and how she behaved during that time and I feel nothing but resentment and bitterness.
We finally got ourselves back on track by the end of March. Or rather I did. I got her a job because DoorDash wasn’t working out and she refused to look for one. I was nice while it lasted but as of last week she’s unemployed again and she’s slipping back into her old ways. She promised that she would take school seriously this time if I paid for it AGAIN and she was seriously going to dash this time to help support in the mean time. But so far it seems like she’s not going to follow through again. So today while I work instead of doing my job I was searching again to find her another job. I’m getting exhausted.
I just poured my heart out and confessed to her how I felt about all this and these feelings coming back up for an hour and all she told me in response is “well I’m trying now”. I don’t know. I need more than that. I just came here to vent to other married folks. Maybe someone else has a similar experience what did you do to move past this that’s not bottling it up like i did?
