Don't know what to do now

Just looking for some online sympathy from anyone. had an awful day today, was supposed to be a family day but turned out to be a fiasco with a small accident blown out of proportion and now I just feel like I can't do this anymore. I'm just tired of barely managing to keep everything afloat. the background is that DH and I've been together for a long time, have one young DC, we both work manic hours, rarely see each other, low pay so not much money to do anything other than pay bills. No family/friends support around so not easy to find any child free time. Our relationship seems to have slowly come to a dead end where it's causing more stress than joy. And today really feels like the final straw, I just want to walk out. I'm not going to actually because it would hurt DC so much and I don't want that but I know we can't go on like this anymore. I just want things to change. I want joy and laughter every now and then. I want someone who actually wants to spend time with me.

I don't know why I'm posting here but if anyone could offer some sympathy, I'd really appreciate it so much. Thanks x

Try talking to someone, relate can help.

It could just be the pressures of life but there could be some deeper reasons that you need to talk about together. I would definitely go for counselling together. I think this could be fixed if you're both prepared to meet each other's needs and spend some fun time together if possible.

Bundles of sympathy coming your way. Does DH know that you feel there is distance between you? Any chance of both of you doing slightly fewer hours?

Sorry today didn't work out as planned. It can be really hard when something that is supposed to be good goes off track. what does bring you joy or make you laugh?
