Am I wrong for wanting a divorce over money?
Hi everyone, I (24F) and my husband (26M) met 5 years ago. We were both poor, living with our parents, driving busted up cars, but extremely in love.
We moved in with each other, and found out i was pregnant early on, we now have 2 kids, (3F) and (6month old F). Our lives are pretty good and our marriage is solid… aside from money.
My husband wants me to stay home with our children like I have been, since i quit my job to take care of our first child we are always struggling to find our next meal. My credit is in the crapper now, I still drive a beat up car, we live in a 2bed/1bath 700sqft old apartment, and we never do anything fun, haven’t eaten out in over a year. Money isn’t everything, I fell in love for HIM not the money but I’m sick of living like this.
He doesn’t want me to put the girls in a daycare. I get it but tbh that’s a luxury we cant afford, plus, I want to work so bad! I get very little social interaction outside my babies, and well, they’re babies…..
He refuses, he wants me to homeschool them later too. I just can’t do it.
Minimum wage is $14/hr, he makes $16/hr, and that number changes frequently because this is also his 4th job THIS YEAR!! We are in MAY!! He will never commit, he will never strive for more. Because of it,this where I see myself in 10 years, constantly stressed out, aftepaying for diapers, asking family for money, wondering if my car will leave me stranded again
But is it worth divorcing over?
Splitting the family? Starting at square one living at my parents house? (Plus two kids). Finding another man? Morally it feels extremely selfish buts should I have to sacrifice my happiness??
Ugh
I need advice
