Nothing is Ever Easy

I may have used this blog topic before but it’s true isn’t it? You think life is going along smoothly and just fine and WHAM the husband lays one on you. Ugh.

My husband put his two weeks notice on his job last week and didn’t tell me until this week. Ugh. I knew he was unhappy but I do wish he would have shared more with me. I do know he has a hard time but still. So now we get to deal with this tasty bit of stuff going on in life. It’s not him quitting his job that makes me mad, it’s that he didn’t tell me, and that is like a slap in the face to me that we are not really an team.

But when you get married in your late thirties, like both of us did, you develop a strong independence and being a couple is a bit more difficult than it would be for younger people.

So now I am more stressed too. He has been very grumpy lately. I guess relationships are never always smooth, things happen whether you make them or they happen on their own. At least we are not having a human baby and won’t need any baby cribs. Babies would be much too much stress right now. Having to buy a set of baby furniture would be too expensive for us.

Unfortunately my knee jerk reaction is that we won’t make it. I think, not because the job and not because our lacking communication, but because emotions are so hard to deal with and neither one of us is very good at it.

Fortunately now, during this difficult time, I have a few things I have never had before in hard times. The first and most important is a self. I finally have a self to lean on and be, and I can’t express how wonderful that is. And also I have a good network of family and friends. Wow. I love and appreciate each of them, too. And this difficulty is making me appreciate them all the more.

I agree. He should have talked to you about it before hand. I would have killed my husband if he had done this. He is considering changing jobs right now. But we are talking about it. Sheesh!!! Good luck sweetie!

This is really strange because I just blogged about this today, Quitting. I’m sorry he didn’t tell you but it may be for the best in the end. You just never know. Life is like that sometimes and there are no easy answers. All that you can do is to keep your chin up and move on.

Hi Christina thanks sis. I wonder, often, if things happen for a reason or if it’s just random…
