Is it over or can it be saved?
I dont know if my husband wants to save our marriage. We have been married two years together 4 and recently he told me our marriage is failing. My father has lived me for years. I take care of him, even more now that hes become ill. My husband and him have a bad a few arguments in the past and even though they are getting a long now mu husband wants me to make him move out. Im so hurt and devastated because now it feels like I have to choose between my marriage or caring for my dad. We have a free consultation today for marriage counseling but honestly I dont know if he really wants it to work. Its not only heart at stake here, I have two beautiful girls that love their step dad. I just really need some guidance.
@Brirobinson Hello Bri, sorry to hear that you're struggling with marriage concerns, together with caring for your father. Conflicting demands imposed by partners and ageing parents are a source of considerable stress. I'm hoping that you were able to attend the counselling appointment yesterday and have been able to gain some clarity; as you will know, both parties need to be on board for relationships to succeed. I've linked to our family stress self help guide, and also wanted to highlight that in addition to the forums here, there is a dedicated Relationship Support chat room every Sunday at 11:00am EDT. Wishing you the best Bri, as you navigate through this time.
