I wish I had married a man that wasn’t a constant disappointment. I feel like I can’t rely on him in life. He supports me emotionally and in a few other ways, but it’s just not enough. I don’t know what to do as I feel like my life is just stuck in the dirt with him. I’m too embarrassed to leave – plus he’s a kind/sweet guy. I just wish he was someone I could rely on financially and in general areas of life – I feel like I have to do everything “adult” in our life. Plan our finances, fix things in the house, care for our pet, plan vacations, cooking absolutely everything – just anything other than him going to his job. He got turned down for a promotion twice now and at this point I know it won’t happen – I really feel like he’s just dragging me down in life and I hate that because he’s such a sweet guy emotionally. I feel like my love is/has faded away a lot because I can’t depend on him any way other than emotionally.
