This isn’t really a relationship issue but it does stem from one. I have name changed for this.
I am trying to work out how to stress less and come to terms with the situation I am in.
i have been a lone parent for a very long time. In that time I continued working but my career did not progress as much as I had sole responsibility for parenting. In contrast my exH has been able to focus on his career and is repeating the rewards (I earn a very decent salary but he earns at least 10 times what I do - or more).
This has caused me a lot of resentment and financial stress over the years. We have a private arrangement for maintenance which worked ok but he has just made a u-turn on a financial promise he made to me and this will have serious implications for me.
i am ok financially but not where I thought I would be, despite working hard and planning. I am just finding it very difficult to stop stressing about my financial situation, comparing my situation to that of my exH and feeling really depressed about the whole thing. How can I let go?
