Who is suppose to be the finacial provider?

by Esmie
(california)

I have been married ten years and I have been waiting patiently for my husband to become the financial provider or at least bring in 50% of the income necessary to survive. We have two boys and He has not been able to financially provide. It wasn't until this year when I ended up in the hospital, that he realized he should be responsible for supplying an income. At this point I'm afraid it might be too late. I feel like leaving him and I keep fighting thoughts of divorce. I feel depressed and I feel anger towards him.What's worse is that everything he has tried to invest in in order to bring in an income has failed. all the extra money I make goes towards his investments or his big boy toys
We have not had a family vacation and he does not like eating dinner with us. I'm falling out of love quickly. Please help

Esmie, you are so right! Your husband does need to change his ways! He needs to step up and take responsibility. . . and so do you!

Your husband has only been able to act the way he has because you two have chosen, consciously or not, to allow it to happen. Your husband has been immature, and you have let him. Your husband has not held up his end of the bargain. . . and you have let him.

One place to begin to let go of the anger is to realize that he is the easy target, but fact is, you need to take an equal look in that mirror and realize you BOTH are to blame.

Then, and only then, can you both begin to work toward a balanced existence. I hope you will take a look at my ebook, Save Your Christian Marriage. I describe your situation in terms of Over/Under Functioning. You would do well to read that and to read about boundaries.

I hope you both find healing through this. Best wishes.
