My husband that I've been with for 10 years doesn't know anything about me...
I've been suspecting my husband doesn't know anything about me. He has a drinking problem and we've been struggling with it relationship wise. He's trying to get better but sometimes he's just so mean. Anytime I talk about things that interest me he doesn't care or pay attention.
I have a really good paying job and actually make more than him. I also have a bachelors and working on my masters. I crochet as a hobby
(to channel my past grandmother) which he doesn't care when I talk about my most recent baby blanket for a expecting friend or I also like baking, doesn't care or want to try things I make.
Today I seriously asked him what my occupation is, what company I work for, what degree I have in (I worked so hard for this and so proud of it) I have an upcoming interview for a new job so I also asked what the job was. All of these are things are things I talk about weekly if not daily. Especially about the upcoming job...
My husband. Who I've been with since 18 that saw me pass all these obstacles to get where I'm at, at 28 (worked full time and went to school for my degree, along with got married and had kid all in between, also we were poor and now have a lot more) Knew none of these things 😔 I'm devastated. He's mad at me for asking and say he just can't think of it at the top of his head and went far enough to say when he get home from work (sometimes he's still working but off his phone) that he doesn't pay attention to anything I say because of his work so that's why he doesn't know.
Am I overreacting? I think this is seriously terrible he doesn't know these things. Basic things about his wife. How do you not know the occupation of your significant other?
*** To respond. This was an eye opener. I suspected he didn't know but having proof he knows nothing about me is heartbreaking. And I know and do everything for this man. And try to help him through his problems because I made a vow and we've basically been together since we were teens but this isn't what I want to teach my son. This is wrong. I think it opened his eyes too. How could he? After 10 years? I don't even think he realized how little he cared 😔 how can you even live with someone for this long and not know know things so basic
