[quote=Anonymous]Idk. Sometimes these posts are so glaringly one-sided that it begs some perspective of the other side. And maybe it's a bit of projection, but your DH is also impacted by all the things you mention.

He has a SN child
He has/had a ill wife fighting cancer and other health issues which rightly means that a lot of focus and attention has been on YOU and how to make YOU better / heal, etc.
He has the same financial stress as you

You then want to put more pressure and burden on him to sort out your career questions and figure out a whole new area of the country to live - and you say that you guys fight all the time.

Just wondering have you ever checked in with him to see how HE's doing? Just sayin.

Some of this is communication - some if this is managing expectations and also some of this is for those who are chronically ill/mentally ill to understand that although the world does revolve around you frequently, it's often at the expense of ignoring everyone else around you.[/quote]
