Sorry you had a crappy day/evening. Hopefully your husband forgives you and you work things out with your girlfriend.
We all have our moments. At least you can be honest with yourself. That is very important! |

You’ll do great on Monday. It’s wise preparing for it under the circumstances.

Now my husband is having a meltdown.
I've got to keep it together. I cannot fall apart again. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

He's under immense stress at work (there's loads of issues there), his back is in enormous pain today (worse than I've ever heard from him, but he sees his chiropractor tomorrow), then there's our own marital stress and issues, and then the rest of it (the pandemic and politics).
It's just far too much for both of us right now. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Try to find something to take your mind off things together. We went to haunted Halloween activities last night I screamed and laughed so hard I almost fell off hayride wagon and I sure forgot there was pandemics going on. Of course today we are back to reality. Work situations are tough nowadays. My husband had to interview to a new job too, in a different hospital because his surgeon wouldn’t give him a release for returning to work after surgery. He is now stressing out about it too. Hang in there. Watch some comedy together.

I agree with Divine 1966! Is there something yawl can do to try to back off some of the stress somehow? I am not trying to minimize your situations or make light of them. I cannot imagine what your situation must feel like, but doing something to take your minds off of your stress can recharge your brain and batteries.
What can you think of? Do you craft or cook or something? __________________ "Love you. Take care of you. Be true to you. You are the only you, you will ever know the best. Reach for YOUR stars.

Thanks for the suggestions. We did go out for live music last night which was a nice distraction and break. But then we discovered a hornets nest outside our kitchen window today and they’re coming inside our kitchen!! Our landlord is out of town so an exterminator cannot come until tomorrow. I have an interview tomorrow. My husband is moaning right now in physical pain. Not a good day for low stress.

I feel you. My wife had a meltdown last night. She said she didn't want to go to therapy together anymore. I hope she is just venting. We have an appointment today.
My boss cut my hours, too, so we will have less income. You are not alone. With all the stresses of life around us that alot of people are going through we must be strong. Only the strong will survive right now! You got this! One step at a time!! |

The good news is it went well, so I have a third interview today with the same company. This is the one silver lining right now, and I pray that I get this job offer. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Excellent!! You sound calmer. May I ask what field you work in? I will respect your choice if you prefer not to answer my question. Best Wishes!!!

I work in digital marketing and have for twelve years. It's a very comparable role to the one I had last, but was laid off. Fingers R crossed!!!!!! __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

On a more sober note, I fear that my marriage is ending. And I have to do well in this interview today. It is SO hard to compartmentalize my marital problems while trying to focus on interview prep.
This truly is a nightmare for me. Everything going on. I am losing my grip. If I manage to get past this interview, it will be a miracle. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |
