I'm struggling to be positive. My DH has not had a job in nearly 2 years because he gave up his when he moved to another country (Scotland) to be with me. He can't find one and believe me he has tried. I have even applied for jobs for him. He started his own business. That's not going anywhere. It is affecting our present and our future. We can get by on my wage but I don't want to get by. I want to pay off my mortgage, go on a holiday, not worry about spending £40 at the supermarket. This may sound terribly pathetic but I feel like I cant keep my head above water. I want to cope.
I am trying to be emotionally supportive but I can't do it anymore, it's draining me. All of my friends have these great lifestyles and mine is crap.
2 years ago I thought the situation would improve but it's just gradually getting worse. I am actually glad I've got that off my chest.
