Not expecting sympathy. Just want to complain anonymously.
DH is an MP. For another week. Then parliament is dissolved and he is not. He is then a candidate. AGAIN.
It was supposed to be 5 years. 5 years without having to campaign.
But no. We have 6 weeks of uncertainty & stress. Of never seeing him. Of complete strangers thinking it's acceptable to ask me what I think about policy. (Though, they do that all the time- it's just more at election time).
6 weeks of people being offensive to my face even more than normal. 6 weeks of people messaging me on Facebook telling me how awful I am. How awful he is.
6 weeks of my kids being got at and called names at school. Even more than normal.
I didn't choose this life. I didn't want to be in the 'public eye'.
Everything I say, everything I do is watched & could be used against me. Against him.
Wherever I go, I am 'the MPs' wife.
Arghhhh!!!!
It's like this all the time. Always being careful, always being aware of not saying or doing anything controversial. Can't complain cos everyone is a voter. Can't trust anyone.
But it's so much worse at election time.
Like I said. Not looking for sympathy. Just need to rant a bit.
Don't know anyone in the same situation.
