How do I get over my guilt? 😞
Last May my FIL moved in with us. Then to help them out, we got a 3 bedroom apartment where my husband and I moved in with FIL, stepmom, and 3 brothers. I was suffocating. It wasn’t how I wanted to spend being newly married, and I fought pretty much every day... I kind of started getting depressed about it because I felt that we didn’t have any space of our own, and we gave my FIL my car that he hadn’t paid me anything for since May (other than the insurance for it)- we decided on a price but he was going to pay me $200 a month for it for a total of over 3000. And while that was a better price than we ever could’ve gotten taking it somewhere, I didn’t think it was fair that it was basically being treated like a loan and I’d get paid the total in like 19 MONTHS when my husband and I are now sharing a car. Plus all this other money that we have given them to be able to settle here. All of our stuff is constantly being used by other people and I was miserable living here.
But basically like I’ve said I’ve been fighting my husband every day. I’m now 10 weeks pregnant and I want my own space. I feel so guilty every time but I’ve been so miserable... honestly he has a great family, they’ve always welcomed me with open arms. But I don’t enjoy living with them.
So I got in a fight with my husband tonight, we’re already talking about divorce and stuff 😠I yelled, and that turned into him talking to his dad about our living situation. My husband says he doesn’t blame me for feeling the way I feel, and we can get out of here soon. But now I feel so incredibly guilty. His dad and stepmom don’t have great jobs and probably won’t be able to find a good place to live. And my husband also asked for my car back. I don’t want to leave them in this horrible position but I’m so tired of being miserable and giving my all. But now I feel like I can’t look them in the face.
Anyone have any advice? :/
