i know we talked about this in the past but i am struggling with resentment again... right now it's mainly because h has the kind of job where he can just take off work whenever he doesn't feel like working for any reason at all (sick, beautiful day, football on tv, whatever), because he's a contractor not an employee. i have to check myself - and remind myself that I am not the type of person that could handle contracted-type work; I need to know that my hours are set and my paycheck is set etc and what comes along with that security, is the tradeoff that I have to work full time and do mandatory overtime when I'm told to (like this month and however much longer this year). I mean it's not like he isn't bringing ANY money in when he's not working, he gets his SSA every month so that's something anyway. I just resent him a lot when I'm working 9-10 hour days with one day off a week while he's watching TV or sleeping. I don't envy the pain from dental work, that's for damn sure.
