Hi Brooke,
I’ve been doing a lot of thought work about my husband. I ADORE him and there are so many wonderful things about him. The biggest thing I struggle with in our marriage is that he isn’t good about helping around the house or getting things done. I’ve been so much better about dropping my manual for him and I know he doesn’t purposefully do these things to hurt me. It just isn’t that important to him. I don’t make it mean anything about me. BUT I’m still really struggling when the things he doesn’t do have a direct effect on our family’s well being. For example: getting his student loans refinanced, doing work on the house before we can list it to sell it, not paying his business taxes on time. I usually don’t mind just doing what needs done, but there are things that I just can’t do for him. I have a hard time getting to a peaceful place and not being angry at him about putting our family in unnecessary and stressful situations. Help!
