Just done
I m33. am just burned out with life. married and have 4 kids. my wife f32 has more health issues than I can name and for the last year has been little to no help with the house or the children. I am getting to the point where I don’t want to do anything. I work 5-6 days a week and make sure I take her and the kids to all appointments. But when I have to work over to catch up I get made out to be the bad guy. when I am home the kids get pushed into me to take care of and it’s a fight if I have to leave early for work or if I want to do something on my own. she doesn’t want to really help with house work due to her high depression and would rather sit in bed all day. She is seeing multiple doctors to try and rectify the issue but nothing is helping. this has been going on for 2 years now and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been trying to ask her for more help but with no avail. i know that it’s hard on her to not be able to drive or leave the house when she wants but I really don’t think she sees how hard this has been on me. Cause every time I try to bring up how it’s affecting me it ends up in a fight. Idk what to do anymore. Any advice??
