“While I’ve been doing everything I can to build us up, I feel like she’s been doing nothing but drag us down,” he said.
“She always says she’s going to get a job, but she does nothing at home either. She’s supposed to be taking classes now to be a teacher, but she doesn’t.”
The other day, he had a bit of an outburst when his wife opened up a letter about teacher retirement plans in the mail. She asked him to help her figure out what she should do for her retirement plan, and he laughed out loud in her face. He told her that she has to actually have a job before she can retire.
His wife became upset and said he wasn’t being funny. But in that moment, he thought he was.
He thinks he should have a more serious conversation with his wife to break down how he feels about their situation. With her being at home, it feels as if they’ve hired a full-time nanny and housekeeper who aren’t good at their jobs, as the house is always messy, and there’s not much effort going into their meals.
Now, he’s wondering if that would be too harsh to say.
At this point, should he be completely honest with his wife or try to get her working more gently?
