Hi,
I just need some advice because at the moment I don’t know where this is all going and what to think or do.
I’ve been with my husband for nearly 15 years, we are different in many ways and I think this impacts how we are as a couple.
I often find him unable to empathise and quite insensitive, he doesn’t show emotion and hasn’t been supportive, when I’ve needed him to, which meant a lot of things I bottled up and dealt with them alone.
He drinks a lot and most days, I reckon he has approx 50 units a week and although I’ve addressed this with him, he’s not interested in changing his drinking habits.
I never have any money to myself, (I expect it being a full-time mum) but he buys alcohol all the time (which isn’t cheap) and is paying for a holiday away with his friends in March and I can’t even afford to pay for a dentist for myself. I would get a job but with childcare bills and due to his work, this wouldn’t work for me, we have no family to help with our children either.
I do want to go to a marriage counsellor because I feel like I can’t carry on like this any longer and I want him to be able to see why I feel the way I do.
Thanks for reading!
