Is life shit or not?

[Elvira2000]

My life:
Good stuff:

• daughter (11) and dog are adorable
• job that challenges me
• get paid averagely okay
• love where i live

Stuff that makes me feel shit

• daughter getting older (bad to say but I miss her tolder / early school years)
• am invisible in job (no recogition from above; in fact professional snub in regard to promotion)
• could earn a lot better if I was more ambitious / different career
• husband shagging another woman (stopped as soon as i found out)

Overall i aim to see the positive, but really i can't help feel that it's all bit shit.

I am trying to side step that hole. It could suck me in if I am not careful - or it has and I can hide it from myself (mostly then i can't cope).

God i am a moron - it's all shit apart from daughter (and where i live - one reason why i haven't left husband).

Rant away OP. You’re not a moron. We can all make long lists of good and bad in time in our lives and no one deserves being cheated on. ♥️♥️

Strikes me that your life could be a lot better without the shagging husband.

Would ditching your cheating H be an option?! I can’t imagine regaining the trust needed for a mutually respectful relationship after that.

No, life doesn’t have to be shit & honestly it sounds like you have more positive than negative to me- a lovely child,

fog. home & a secure job.

From your post it’s pretty clear why you’d feel down & it’s your H’s affair that is the issue IMO.
