Good afternoon,
Both my spouse and I are very adventurous people with big dreams, ( or down to earth dreams)
My spouse currently got his big career dream come true……….
I have tried to be a good support spouse……but it is a struggle…….all the emotions…….it is hard on a person. So another few questions I have.
1. If any of you on here are in relationships, how do you handle your spouses big career dreams?
2. Or if you don’t handle them well……
any advice will do.
Thank you
May I ask what is your spouses career is?
He is a General Manager at the Pizza Hut in our town.
I was just curious if it meant that you had to relocate, or if it's caused some major lifestyle changes. My spouse made some work changes in the past and he talked with me about it prior to making any changes. I was very happy and excited for him, even though it meant I would have to carry our insurance. The main change was his working from home and being around 24/7. I had to get use to that, but it's been many years now, so far so good.
I'm sorry you're having some difficulty with your spouse's new career, maybe sit down and have a conversation about what has changed and how you feel.
I wish you the best!
What is your career dream? Is his going to affect you reaching yours?
Is he supportive of you reaching your career dream?
No, I am like a damn prisoner for him. Monday thru Friday I wake up early our daughter ready for school and I than work and than do all the house chores, outside yard work etc etc. and as my dream. I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but sometimes I wish I had a nanny to help with her as due to her mental health and physical health is quite a bit at times. And him supportive, he has never been supportive in anything of mine. Not my hobbies, nothing, I have turned into a toy to him. It is quite sad.
I was going to say. I have never had support in my life. Not from my family. Or even the little bit of friends I had.
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like we are in a similar boat, with most chores. My wife, as much as I love her, really irritates me that I work all day and am continually stressed about money and how much I dislike what I do (after doing it for a very long time). She doesn't do much around the house, not even cooking dinner. She physically can't do most of the yard work and although I get she does have many physically issues, I think they have been exacerbated by her lack of movement (not exercise either). She's a lump on the couch most days unless she has doctor appointments or is taking my Mom or our son to appointments, which I'm glad she can do those things.
She hasn't worked for probably 5 years and only just finally got on SSDI in 2023. That consumed all of our savings, and my 401k. I would love if she could find something that wouldn't compromise her SSDI but could earn a little income to help. She's been selling Avon for a long time, but doesn't try very hard so barely anything is earned from it.
I am sorry you’re dealing with that. It sounds like a lot.
Thank you! It is overwhelming and brings me down and kills most of my motivation too.
Not to mention that I have serious health issues. I have a failing kidney transplant and just went through bladder cancer having my bladder and prostate removed.
Aww, I am so sorry to hear that. Well I will keep you in my thoughts.
Thank you! I’ll do the same for you 😊
thank you!
I love seeing the love we show each other on here
We need to help each other
Dreams 
Let's come together and keep each other in prayers.
