Somtimes I wish I was so sensitive

So for a while I got laid off and then had to just quit because my fiance got a new job closer to us but he was gone 12 hours a day and I had no car with our 1 year old. So just being by yourself, with no help , no car, at home was challenging. I also couldn't go back to work because he had to get knee surgery and my son got a procedure ( he recently turned 2) a week before my fiance had to get surgery. So I'm taking care of both of them. It was fine. He can't go back to work until December but can watch our toddler since financially we can't afford daycare. So I decided to work. I am a sensitive person but for a while now he's been taking me for granted . He didn't appreciate and see the things I've done and sacrificed and would rather play a video game or be annoyed with me. I get we were both stressed and it just seemed no matter what I did he was nit picky. So subconsciously I feel like my self esteem went down. We were having a nice night. Mind you I'm tired and still doing the stuff that needs to be done at home. I have weekends off and I work 25 hours a week and don't work 12 hour shifts and he had a car for our toddler. And when I leave, our son has to take a nap so it's not so bad. Look I appreciate everything he does. But he comes and talks to me and brags about how easy it is and he doesn't know why I ever had a problem with our son. I never had a problem with our son. I was depressed and holding everything together. I don't even remember the last time I had me time. To me that's sitting in the restroom or showering or going to a Starbucks or walking around a store for things we need for the home.... I expressed and cried and shared that with him..so my feelings were hurt. I wish I could have just shaken my head yup or said some smart remark but instead I expressed how I felt and them he started talking about how he bragged to his mom which that's another one of our issues ( as his sister once said, she could literally slap our toddler and my fiance would defend and justify his mom to the end) anyways . All I said was just not to share the comment he said about how it was difficult for me and not for him even though it's been a week and a half. Anyways I wish I wasn't crying or angry or writing this but I have noone to share this with because at the end of the day I don't want my family or friends having to hear this. So I'm venting anonymously. Please be gentle. It's been rough for me and I'm trying to just stay strong and grow.
