Hubby has no ambition
My husband and I have been married for 2 years together for 5 years we get along great!
when we started dating he would always talk about how he was very interested in going into the IT field and how he planned to do it very soon so I thought "awesome he has a plan!" when we met we were both working at a warehouse making almost minimum wage since then I've finished a trade and got a much better paying job years later he's still and the warehouse still making very little pay he's been at this warehouse for 10 years now making $16 a hr $1 more than what he made 5 years ago 😔
The warehouse he's at won't promote him to any other position we now have a mortgage that is much higher then we originally anticipated amongst other bills that are increasing we split all the bills 50/50 (his choice) but I pay for groceries, house maintenance and lately some of his 50% is seeping over into my 50% because he just can't afford to keep up with his half with inflation which is fine 😬
His cousin became a truck driver then opened his own company so my hubby decided to try and become a truck driver he took the classes and failed the driving test the 1st time and just gave up 😐 he has literally no reason why he cant go to college or trade school he just wont he says he's looking for jobs and having interviews but I see no evidence of it I have his email linked to my phone I never see any employer emails
it seems like he's just trying to move up within the warehouse he's at I could be wrong but after 10 years if you haven't got a promotion yet its time to move on
I took a class on resume building now I'm the person that everyone comes to, to get a resume done or interview tips when I try to offer him help with his resume he gets grumpy and says that I act like a know it all so I gave up on helping him with that 🙅♀️
I'm 30 he's 31 and we can't do anything because of finances sometimes when I get a bonus at work I can take us on a cruise or a trip but nothing from his end our dates from him consist of going to Chipotle or IHOP which is fine but sometimes I want to get dressed up and have a nice dinner which he can't do
I feel extremely guilty about having these thoughts but I'm not some shallow gold digger I just don't want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of my life and I don't want to say anything to him because he's sensitive and the thought of hurting his feelings or making him feel less of a man makes me sad I just don't know what else to do 😭
