2.29.08: financial and marital STRIFE

Dear Plumpy Pad,

 

So I am trying to continue the downward momentum... It gets tough when there is so much financial stress. My husband lost his job on Jan. 11th... and it has been nearly 2 months that I have been the lone provider. We're hurting... He needs to find a new job --ANY JOB-- and he needs to do it right now.

 

He's been on a few inerviews for fast food places, and I feel bad because the idea of my husband working fast food kind of embarasses me. I just don't understand why he didn't plan for his future better when he was young... I guess I harbor a lot of resentments towards him. He's an amazing, kind, and caring man... but he's also lazy and unfocused. I don't know... I just needed to vent.

 

Here's mdiary for the day:
