She will be there the whole time. </p> <p>I've tried many times to talk to him, but he acts like the money issues are my fault (they are not). I am so sick of being treated like a doormat. I was so upset a couple of weeks ago, I almost said screw it, I'm leaving. I know it's hard to stop smoking and having his morning coffee but come on! He gives me a hard time when I get Starbucks with money that my mother just started giving me recently, saying I should share it with him. Yet, his GM gives him money and he never shares it with me. In fact he told me that she told him not to share it with me! She's a real prize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158868 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:05:19 +0000 mediagirl 158868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy. I am so sorry you're having to go through this right now at all times. Is your Mom nearby? Can you make sure she is the one you call when you go into labor? You definitely need to have a discussion with the husband and let him know your feelings before things get worse!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158836 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:46:48 +0000 chopsuey 158836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! So sorry you have to deal with this BS! Your DH better stop acting like an ass. I think he needs a good talking to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158790 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:11:41 +0000 heffalump 158790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry you're going through this, especially when your LO is almost here. It should be a wonderful time for you right now, not have all this stress! Hope you're able to work it all out soon.</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: That is offensive for you! I don't know how I'd deal with it if DH said he didn't believe in therapy since I'm a therapist too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158784 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:07:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 158784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh I'm sorry, hopefully it all works out before your baby gets here. Extra stress is the last thing you need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158690 Tue, 15 May 2012 07:20:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 158690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh..my DH doesn't like idea of counseling either. He claims it 'doesn't work and is a waste of time,' which is so offensive since I have my master's degree in Marriage &amp; Family Therapy!!</p> <p>That said, there are clinics that are affordable. For instance, the URI program offers sliding scales for therapy services. Do you live near a training facility or a school? There are also services that offer sliding scales that might be in your area. I'm not sure where you're located - but try searching for family therapy or couple therapy in your area, and then maybe narrow down by 'sliding scale' or 'sliding fee'? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158675 Tue, 15 May 2012 06:39:47 +0000 Rubies 158675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*huuuuuuuuuugs* I'm so sorry you're going through this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-city-population-me#post-158648 Tue, 15 May 2012 00:49:59 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 158648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having a really really bad night, I can't sleep and settle down.</p> <p>There are so many issues in my life right now. I'm 36.5 weeks pregnant, my DH is being a jerk about money problems that he created, my GMIL hates me (long story to that one) and yet won't back off and let me raise my kid in the way that is healthy for him and me. (By that I mean, not smothering him/not being a hypochondriac/hyperviligent about every little danger) I'm banning her from the hospital but she doesn't know it yet, even after I told my DH to tell her that I don't want any visitors (read: HER). After she almost dropped my newborn last time, I don't want her around my kids, PERIOD, but my DH says that she's family and I have to let her. I'm just so sick and tired of being treated like crap in my own home by her. I also feel like I can't trust anyone on his side not to do stuff with my LO that I ask them not to do, like DH taking my LO to their very dangerous house while I'm in the hospital. I like MIL (his mom) but she has her moments too. My DH is a donkey when it comes to his family. My family has its moments, but nothing like this. Right now, they are all angry with him for being a jerk to me, in front of them. </p> <p>I don't know what to do. All I can say is thank GOD for my mom or I'd really be screwed in this situation. </p> <p>ETA; DH doesn't think that we need counselling, or if we do, we can't afford it, so instead he just acts like a donkey all the time to me.<br /> Thanks for reading ladies, and for the vent. </p>
