As I think about my life right now, I really can’t complain because I am able to feed my two kids, I have a job, and I have a house. BUT…..I never thought in a million years that in 2009, I would be struggling to pay my mortgage, have a ton of debt (or at least it feels like a ton), and have a cheating husband who just doesn’t GET IT!! This is not supposed to be my life!
Anyway, through my pain, I think there are a couple of ways this economy has impacted my life, and the infidelity issues.
- I can’t freaking go nowhere – we are out of money!! I am in no way expecting anyone to feel sorry for me, I am just saying how I feel. So for me and my husband, this means that we have to face each other, we have to talk; there is nothing else to do. If I wasn’t in this financial situation, I would be going out more, partying more, spending more. Once we got a house and kids, no more once a month dates, we were just trying to make sure we paid everyone on time. This constant stress of money probably took a big toll on our marriage.
- Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but because of the economic times, I feel I can’t move out. We both can’t afford this house on our own (ladies, note to self, when getting a house, if you can live off of 1 income, that is ideal, so you won’t be in a situation like me). Since I caught my husband cheating, it has been rough. Good thing about me still being here is that we have had some good conversations that probably would not have happened if I had the money to ‘up and leave’. But sometimes, the conversations leave me angry and upset.
- Being in the situation I am in….literally stuck at the house, has caused me to think about my life and reflect, reflect, reflect. If times were good, I don’t think I would be reflecting this much saying to myself every day, how the **** did I get to this point in my life? What happened?
Am I the only one out there with this predicament of Cheating and Money Problems?
