just wana share my personal sorrows.
my work require me to do regional to support customers and looking for business opportunity.
everytime i received requirement to do overseas, i felt worried and scare that i had to broke the news to her and get nags, complain from her. imagine i had to do it 2-3times mth.
i had good relationship with my daughter. somehow i feel she is not doing enough as a mother. my daughter enjoy my companion more than with her. it is not that she is a disciplianiam but she simply bochap and chap the wrong things. whenever i am in singapore i will play with my daughter and bring her to outing, watch elmo show, barnie show, cartoons and chat with her about anything.
i handle all bills at home. i need to remember when to pay utilities bills, conservation charges, pay her credit card bills ( she pay me when she received her pay which is normally after due date). but most of myfriends is handle by their wife.
she doesnt save, spent every cents of her pay. i try to save around 20-30k a year for my old age and also plan for my children education fees.
my mom bought breakfast every weekend for her. she never bother to wake up to buy any breakfast for me or my mom.
she brought her dog but seldom walk it. now the dog become another of my good pals, which is the only one that bother to wait for me to come home after late work in office.
she only cook less than 10 times for the family in 5 yrs. And seldom offer to pay for dinning out although her pay is quite OK.
that is my version of the story i try to ask myself think on her side.
i told myself, no matter what for the sake of children i will hold this family together.
do any bros have any similar less than happy marriage.
please share if you can.
Well this is sad, family means union and supporting each other..
I really cant believe she cook less then 5 times in 5 years. I mean this is not what a wife should be. Very sorry, she gave me the impression of that she's a very lazy women and take things for granted.. everything seems so easy to her and enjoying your hard earned money... Maybe you should just talk to her bout your money for daughter's education and restrict how much money she can spent ?
Why not sit down with her and talk bout money stuff.. then go to daughters then breakfast then anything u feel not comfortable..at least let her know.. did u ? its ok to be upset and angry with her.. it doesnt mean that u both wil immediately divorce after quarrel..
First , u need to let her know wats bothering you..
U need to tell her u need some support and you're really tired after your work and appreciate anything that she can do at least to lessen your burden..
Just tell her that.. U need to be tougher than she is.. if she nags.. stop her.. not by bad way but in polite way,, if she still doesnt understand.. sometimes..scold is the only way.
i just think you're being too soft hearted to her..
Hope your family will stay and get better..
Remember , communication is the best way
