Would you stay

[newyearnewme212]

Hi all,

Looking for some perspective. Im a sahm with a baby and toddler. I relocated for my partners job who is a high earner. I expected to find my own job here but it became clear he wouldnt be able to cover sick leave/appointments/days off and travels frequently. Without any family support it seems impossible to work unless its completely flexible. Add to this we have constant pressure from families about moving. My husband has a life through work and goes out frequently. Im becoming more and more resentful as time goes on. Advice please.

Have you made friends where you moved to? When we moved to a new area it helped making friends with other mums and I created myself a social life.
Also with work you may just have to accept that your job is the one effected by taking time off. My DH works away for long stretches of time and we had no family support; it was hard having to be the one always taking time off but I still managed to consistently work. I also know people who are self employed for this reason.
You haven’t said much about your relationship with your husband - does he do his fair share when he is home, are the two of you still in love etc

How did you manage to take all
the time off? I cant see how i would actually get through a probationary period. I was spending any free time ive had (which is little) trying to find a flexible job but im struggling. Maybe i need to shift the focus more onto building my own social life. I feel not having work is impacting my self esteem a bit.
