New Job

So I started a new job in January that is 100% out of my comfort zone. I only work a few days per week since its a mon-fri job and I'm also taking a few classes during the week. I was hesitant to take everything on but it all sort of just fell into place. Now I'm starting to get stressed out and burnt out. I'm trying to talk to my husband about helping out at the house with chores and everything but he either says he is working 5 days per week and making most of the money and I have more free time at home or that he will help once he has time... I feel like an *** not getting everything done or taking time for myself so I don't get crazy stressed. I know it is important but I still feel guilty taking time for myself that I could be working, doing homework, or chores. guess this post was just a bit of a venting session...

That's what we are here for, to support you.

Maybe you should get a housekeeper once per week. When I got married my step dad told my husband, she's not going to clean all those houses. So fiancé said, I don't want to pay anyone, I'll do it myself.

And he does. Once your husband sees that you guys have less money, maybe he'll pitch in around the house.

Getting stuff out in a vent also puts a lot of the pieces out in the open. If you make a change to any one of the pieces there's a chance for relief. What's your priority for yourself right now? Your health, school, work, chores, challenging the power dynamics in your relationship, managing a difficult situation effectively, or something else entirely. I hope you get the relief you deserve.
