I am getting tired of hearing "The Economy is slow" blah.... blah....
My husband is constantly saying this phrase to me like twice a day and we only see each other for about 3 hours a day.
Is it even healthy for him to keep reminding me...
What is the wores thing somebody can tell you after a long day at work and you just want a nice dinner.

yes we should watch how we spend our money. I hope this time passes soon
It is scary that our twenty bucks don’t go along way at the grocery store. But again, what am I to do? I am not shopping for clothes or hangbags. I am buying grocery for the kids.
Thanks for your post.

I suggest you tell your husband about how you feel. If you keep biting your lips every time he reminds you of the slow economic, you will be very sad in your heart. This is not good for you. It can affect your health if you continue to keep to yourself about your feeling.
Once in a while it is okay if you let it all go. Tell him you hate him reminding about the economic situation. Tell him you only want to have a nice dinner with him. Tell him you want him to compliment you on the dinner you have painfully prepared for him.
But try to tell him in a nice way. If he couldn't accept your idea when you talk nicely to him, I don't know what type of a husband he is. Maybe he should go for a counseling or something.

I tried but he says he is only trying to remind me. It is difficult. I mean I work all day too and sometimes very exhausted and just want to sit down and eat dinner. I mean I go to the store to buy grocery for the kids, I did not go shopping for myself. Yet he nags me.
I think I married the wrong man.

Well at least yours is just saying slow economy lol mine is saying the end of the world is coming. But on a lighter note he only says it once in a while like when he wants something lmao. Times are hard but they are made harder when you are reminded of it every day by everyone including those that are in your household. Home is supposed to be where you can came home relax and forget the worlds problems. Just let him know how you feel.

I have told him that and he seems to hear but not register it. He will turn around and say it again when I tell him we need to pick up some more fruits for the kids. Etc…. I can’t help it if I need to drive 20 miles away for a therapy sessions for my daughter. I cannot stop the session which are paid by regional center just because time is tough and we cannot spend that on gas… Afterall, the therapy sessions are what help bring my child into our world and she is much happier now.
I been going back to school online, and now consider quiting because tuition is so expensive that we don’t have money right now.
Thank you for your post. I feel better after sharing this feeling with someone else who does understand me.
I wish he can just stop it and realize the constant reminder does no good.
