My husband works long hours full time 5 days a week doing quite an important role for a food industry. He brings home so much stress on his shoulders his constantly tired, run down and has very little time to do anything.
He often says how his got so much to do no one appreciates the work he does at work and no one helps him. His the only person on the role of work.
We have 2 children under the age of 10 mmand they can both be so very demanding/stressful /typically child behaviour and arguing together and a young playful dog under 1(so its basically like a 3rd child!) We own our home and have no money worries. We have a holiday home also. We do well in regards of our assets.
we will do family time /going out/shopping/holidays at the weekend but theres always something to do. Currently his researching home insurance/ breakdown cover renewal. His a treasurer of the local scout committee which he enjoys but its more pressure to him and he has to do that in what little spare time he gets. The kids do after school activities so there's that to take into account also
I don't work but volunteer and look after my elderly parents and take care of the house so do try to relieve the stress but there is somethings i cant do like the insurances. -weve spoken about me going back to work many times but for our family situation its easier for me not to and his very happy with the arrangement we have also.
His got a long list of things to do today and I often worry about his mental health. His quite emotional at silly things TV adverts /a meme and gets upsets/crys easily.
His had his health checked bloods ect pretty recently and his actually in really good health in that regard his 35 but he wouldn't dream about speaking to anyone about the stress he feels . He said to me- when did life get so stressful and busy all the time. When is the break i feel like I'm just surviving and not living. I wish I could get some time back
Anyway thanks for reading any advice warmly welcome
