4 years, financial struggles, unhappy with myself
Relationship Stress / by sincereTree8147

...See more I’ve been with my boyfriend over 4 years. We’ve lived together for almost 2 years. We are 24 and 25. He has been unemployed for almost a year and has been living off his savings. We kept this a secret from everyone for almost the entire year. That in itself has been such a burden on me. I have had a full time job and feel like I haven’t been able to fully enjoy my hard work because my partner can’t afford to do the things I want to do. Even eating at a fast food restaurant once in a while is not attainable. If it happens, it’s because I offered to pay. And when I am craving something, I always end up paying double because I feel bad that he wouldn’t have any. I also feel so disappointed in myself because I wanted to and could have bought myself a home. But I didn’t because I was hoping to do that with my husband. Well now I’m behind in 2 of my life goals. I put off buying a house and I’m not married. One of those is in my control. The other feels like it’ll never happen. I feel so sad when I take a step back and realize I’m not where I want to be. I have so much to be grateful for but I continue to think about these two empty voids in my life. I believe I’m with the person I want to be with, but I’m not where I want to be. I don’t know what to do. I feel stuck and that makes me so sad.
