Major burnout being married
How would you feel if you came home to nothing made or done after you’ve worked fourteen hours, then got up early the next day to work another nearly 11 hours…and they’ve basically done nothing and have had eight hours of free time both days? I’m always on the verge of a breakdown because I feel like ever since I’ve started picking up more work, my husband hasn’t stepped up to better his cooking or cleaning skills like I have have for our marriage. Or just taking initiative at all. It feels as though that I’ve always been willing to do more for him if he’s had a long day. But now that the roles are reversed, he’s happily napping or playing his videos games. I love him, but I’m seriously considering divorce after five years of marriage. I told him one day that I’ve almost always made him dinner when he’s had a longer day, and his response was “I never asked you to.” That stung. Sure, he was right, but I guess I didn’t realize that’s how our marriage operated. I thought he’d want to take care of us too. I tried initiating marriage counseling, but he never supported setting it up after a few failed attempts of me trying to. He shows no desire to fulfill major tasks that effect the both of us too. I’m scared of pulling the plug, but I feel like if I don’t then this marriage will literally kill my spirit if I ever plan to continue to be ambitious or motivated in life. He seems content with the way things are even though he sees how it hurts me.
