As I think about my life right now, I can’t complain because I am able to feed my two kids, and I have a house. But seriously, I never though in a million years that in 2009, I would be robbing peter to pay paul to pay my mortgage, have a ton of debt, and have a cheating husband who just doesn’t GET IT!! Anyway, though my pain, I think there are a couple of ways this economy has impacted my life, and the infidelity issues.
- I can’t freakin go no where – we are out of money!! So this seriously means that we have to face each other, we have to talk, because we see each other more. If times were different, I would be going out more, partying more, spending more. We would of done this together and funny enough, when we went out, it is almost like we didn’t face reality, because the ‘fun’ of whatever activity we were during masked the pain. Now it is right in front of our face, and boy, the problem we have is huge.
- Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but because of the economic times, 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. But we have had some lengthy (although frustrating) conversations. I doubt those would of occurred if financially I was in a position to leave.
- 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 with me financially, I don’t think I would be reflecting this much saying to myself, how the **** did I get to this point in my life? Why am I here?
So there you have it. Curious to see if anyone else has similar experiences.
