Seeking Advice: Struggling to Respect My Husband Due to Financial Burden

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m in a really tough spot and could use some advice. My name is Penelope, and I’m struggling with a significant issue in my marriage.

I am the sole provider for my family, working from early morning until late at night to make ends meet. My husband, Kyle, doesn’t seem to mind this arrangement, but it’s taking a toll on me. I find it increasingly difficult to respect him because I feel the entire financial burden is on my shoulders.

I love Kyle, but this situation is causing a lot of resentment and stress. I don’t want our relationship to deteriorate further, but I also don’t know how to address this issue without causing a major conflict.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Any advice on how to communicate my feelings to Kyle without making him feel attacked would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support and guidance.

Best,

Penelope
