Hi,
Well first off I am new to posting here so I will just give a general background. I have been married for almost 5 years, and all 5yrs have been very frustrating and disappointing. My husband and I met in college and were both attending church regularly. After we were married he stopped going all together and I went when I could. I had to give up finishing college when my husband couldn't work due to a concussion and epilepsy (this was supposed to be for a short time as his brain wasn't functioning fully for a couple months) He is better now. When I gave up school I worked 2 full time jobs to bring in enough to pay for our apartment but debt was wracking up and he still wasnt working. I work retail and don't have the luxury of taking time off whenever I would like which means it is hard for me to always get everything done.
I am the sole provider in my household and that is really where most of my anger and frustration lie. I have been the sole provider for all 5 years while my husband sits at home on the computer all day. I have tried everything to get him to get a job but he just wont. I don't support divorce really but I am not sure if I can keep this up for the rest of my life. I have no friends where I live as we just moved again (4th time since we married) and I feel very disconnected from everything. I would love to go out and do stuff but my husband doesn't want to. I wouldn't be so frustrated that he sits at home all day if he was productive, but he isn't.
On top of my full time job, I am also in charge of all the household chores, and taking care of our cats. On a rare occasion he might throw something precooked in the oven for dinner but that's about it. I am not very positive about the future and I don't know what to do from here. I am hoping someone on here can lend me some advice from their marriages.
