... all the bottled up anger and frustration and all slipped through my body while chatting with my husband. He is at home and I was telling him that we only have a few bucks left. He was discontinued from work in August and it is only now that he is applying to companies. I have told him to apply earlier before but he said money is coming anyway from his other source of income and it did come. Truly. But if was only good for two months. I kept quiet though deep inside I am disagreeing for I know that it will come to this day. Since August im the only one earning: with 2 kids (one kid is studying) and a 9-month old baby. We have two helpers we have to pay and we are renting our place and we have several other things to pay. Oh my!
I had to voice out all my frustrations to him. I hope this wakes him up and get him to moving. I have asked him to limit his gaming time to 30 mins a day and TV time to zero if possible. I've asked him to help me take our family to a new level. Pray for me, for us. I know we most surely dont know each other, but just the same, please pray we can get out of where we are- SOON!

Nurseclare, I'm sorry I did not see your post as I was away and always very busy with things here and there.
Thanks for asking, really appreciate it!
We are better now because he is now with work and the experience made him realize how we could not afford to lose work or a source of income. We have things to pay (a lot!) because of those times but getting there.
I also found a new business I can do after work and this motivates us to do well here so I can eventually be a work at home mom.
Indeed, our experiences teach us the goodness of God, and His wisdom. We believe God took him out of that company because for holy reasons.
True, married life always has marital issues and it is with grace that we are all able to weather them together.
Again, thanks and God bless you!

at least you spoke you mind and told him how you feel and how things are going. if you didnt speak up he wouldn't have known how things are right now. I was hounding my boyfriend to get a job because we are trying to save up for an apartment but he hasnt been working so its just me trying to save, as well as pay for my bills.

Hi, soulist. thanks for your words re this matter. I am just thankful that he somehow listens and realizes things that I tell him. it is a struggle also because he has his own beliefs etc that are not same as mine (like if i were in his shoes, I will do anything as long as it is legal and moral) to be able to earn somehow even if i am not employed. Well, it is a decision to stand by him and lead him to action and to show him that he will be able to make it. it was a case of feeling depressed losing his job and being the breadwinner and took him time to overcome. So my lesson here is to be always open in communication with your partner (he didnt tell me that was his feeling and I didn't express my concern or desire for him to work, too). so to think, we are both at fault. anyway, I hope things are not too late! I know it's not.
Again, thanks and hope that you and your bf will be able to sort out this matter concerning you both and that you will both be happy with whatever you will agree on. All the best!

I am sorry for you.... But I hope your husband will try to understand it sooner than later.... Maybe you should talk to him about it.... And try to show how frustrated you are about it in a sad manner rather than an angry manner.... Anyways... I would surely pray for you.....

thanks, prayers are very very needed. So far, he has one part-time job and will start anotherjob (not sure yet if part-time or full time) in another company by January. God is good. I guess, it really comes to a point that things like this come in marriage. We were able to start a business by the way, this will be another source of income, we will start opening it next week! Please pray for it to blossom well!
