update.

So, I feel like I have kept all of you hanging.  Or maybe I haven’t.  I really don’t know.  Things have gotten better.  A little.  Yes, a little better.  I still do not have access to house finances.  At all.  On one hand, that is good.  Now hubby will see exactly how much life costs.  And he will also see just how much I do every day.  But, it’s not something that will come easily.  He will not admit his part in any of this, which is beyond frustrating.  Thankfully, he has a few good men (heh) in his life that have talked him down a bit and MADE him realized that he DOES have a part in all of this.

We went to the grocery store together last weekend and that was a bit of an eye opener for him.  I had told him it normally costs me between $120 and $150 a week and he said he could do it for under $100.  Well, our total for the weekly shopping with no “extras” was $225.  We have also received a few rouge bills, so he now sees that things come that are not part of the montly budget.  But don’t think that means he has been any nicer to me.  Oh, no.

I have suggested that we go to counseling, to which he said “we can’t afford that.”  Well, I’m pretty sure our insurance will cover it, so I’m going to start checking that option out.  Also?  He thinks I am going to contribue my Avon earnings to the house.  Um…NO.  No, I am most certainly not going to be doing that.

But now my little precious bunny is sick.  She came down with quite the fever yesterday and has been out of sorts ever since.  It’s her first fever so I took her to the doctor as it was a whopping 102!  Yikes.  She has no other symptoms, so teething and the flu have been ruled out.  So for now, we’re just hanging out and having motrin every 6 hours.  I feel so sad for her.

  1. Oh poor baby. They do run high fevers. I’m sure she’ll be fine. I think counseling is a great option. If insurance will cover it, go for it. Even if he won’t go, you can go on your own.

    Try a Crown Financial study, after counseling. Some churches offer counseling for free. Also try A Love Dare. All this helped me when my wife cheated, yes I was mean, but no one deserves to be cheated on.
