Help! My Husband Blames Me for Our Financial Struggles After Having a Third Child

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. My name is Eliana, and I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed. My husband, Harold, and I have been married for 10 years, and we have three beautiful kids. The thing is, Harold was the one who really pushed for us to have a third child. I was hesitant at first because I knew it would be a big financial strain, but he convinced me that we could handle it.

Fast forward to now, and things are really tight financially. Harold has been super stressed out about money, and he’s started blaming me for our situation. He says I should have been more firm about not wanting another child if I knew it would be this hard. It’s like he’s forgotten that he was the one who wanted this in the first place!

I’m trying my best to manage our finances and take care of the kids, but it’s really tough when he’s constantly angry and pointing fingers. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around him, and it’s starting to affect our relationship. I love Harold and want to make things work, but I don’t know how to get through to him or how to fix this mess.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Any tips on how to communicate better with Harold or ways to ease the financial burden would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
