He, on the other hand, feels guilty about cutting his family off and doesn’t want to leave them struggling. This led her husband to accuse her of being “cold-hearted” and “putting money over people.”
She feels totally betrayed by him over this and can’t believe that he doesn’t see just how wrong his family’s actions were.
She tried to tell her husband that it wasn’t only about their finances. More importantly, it was about setting boundaries to protect their own livelihoods.
Still, her husband can’t bring himself to “abandon” his family, especially since he’s always had to support them.
This has left things in their relationship extremely tense, and she believes it’s a make-or-break moment.
“I feel like if we give in now, this will be a never-ending cycle, and we’ll never be able to move forward with our own goals,” she said.
Of course, she feels bad about standing so firm on this. At the same time, though, she’s not interested in risking their future.
“Part of me wonders if I’m being too rigid,” she vented, “But I can’t shake the feeling that if we don’t set a boundary now, we never will.”
Will anything change unless her husband puts his foot down with his family? How would you handle this in her shoes?
