Reassurance please

I find it difficult to trust that my husband will do his best for our future. As in financially.

He has a cushy job with a relative and he has given me no reason to doubt him but I fear him losing the business and us having to work minimum wage jobs (and my friends having better houses/lifestyles etc).

I lost my job 3 years ago and it really affected my confidence. I've only now regained my pride.

I'm financially dependent on him at the moment as we have 1 year old twins. Childcare is expensive.

Reassurance that you can continue to retain pride in not working min wage?

I cannot give that I'm afraid.

So, put some plans in place so you're not dependent on him for indefinite period. Plan a career /retraining so you won't be in a minimum wage job when you go back to work.

OP, asking people for reassurance is really a refusal to grow up and face your own circumstances.

No-one can offer you the safety of certainty, or security when you are clearly insecure.

But you can help yourself.
