Christmas gift of 40 to your regular hairdresser is a common and appropriate gift. It’s not outrageous. I’d not complain about that.

You should be able to buy groceries. Let him talk.

I think getting a job is the best bet for you. Retail hires anyone and everyone and you don’t need to be outgoing to get a job. But it doesn’t sound like you want retail job. Why not try something like take medical assistant or biller or administration courses and work in doctors office?

You can’t change your husband but you can change your own life
True, plumbing issues is an emergency. What baffkes me is that we usually hwve 20000 or more in our joint account, so it’s not like we are extremely broke.

I don’t understand that. Usually the average amount is about 30000-50000.

So I don’t understand why he acts like we can’t afford a plumber. This is b.s & highly disturbing. Not to mention it pisses me off to how he doesn’t care about my comfort at all.

He told me to use his shower. He doesn’t think that my shower needs to be fixed as its not a necessity in his eyes, ugh.

He keeps on acting like we’re literally about to become homeless! It’s disgusting how cheap he is.

I no longer feel comfortable coming home with groceries as he whined about me buying’ ‘to much food’ too.

I could work retail again as long as the environment isn’t hostile like it was last time. I’d also meed to find a place that won’t expect me to be by myself with no help from anyone after training me for only 4 hours in one day, ridiculous!!!!

I hardly know how to use most computer programs aside from very basic Word. Most places require experience with Excel.

I tried learning this stuff twice & gave up as it was to hard for me. The classes wete way to fast paced & confusing for me too.

I’m a slow learner & I think I probably have some learning disabilities too as well as having extreme difficulty remembering things.

Especially things I don’t care about. My long term memory sucks.

A lot of places actually list that they want outgoing bubbly people. Especially for office & customer service jobs. Some even list being able to smike a lot as a requirement. I can’t fake smile convincingly all day. I’m the worst actress ever, lol.

So I’m severly limited in what I can do. And obviously not all retail places will hore just anyone. I was rejected for a stock position at a major retailer.

I was also rejected from Safeway too. I actually got hired then the offer got rescinded. I thiink ot was because I had a DUI still on my record . Or they discriminated against me for having valium shiw up in the drug test.

Getting a job isn’t that easy. I have often went for months without a job in the past because no one wanted to hire me. I have more limitations to what I can do long yerm now as I have neck & back issues. I used to do stock & that did a number on my body.. I was in extreme pain everyday.

So I had to always take what I could get unfortunately. I might look into Door Dash or Uber Eats as I can do that alone & it’s flexible.

Also, a friend of mine is doing that so she can answer questions that I have. The main problem would involve not being able to find an apartment number inside the building.
