[quote=Anonymous]I'm a healthcare provider who has been working on a hospital unit that cares for COVID patients throughout this crisis. My husband has been working from home since last March. We have 2 young kids. Things are tense, to say the least. I am an ash heap and am beyond exhausted from trying to keep my house in order and "teach" my kids 5 days/week and caring for people at work. I am constantly on edge and struggling.

My marriage wasn't great before COVID, but it's much worse now. My husband has turned into a resentful a**hole who barely talks to me. He has acted out in some of the meanest ways anyone has towards me, ever - saying once that like he feels bad leaving the kids under my care, implying through words or actions that I am lazy or incompetent, acting sulky if I don't prepare food for him or make a rare trip out of the house alone to run an errand (side note: he chooses not to drive), using the house we recently bought (he put more money into the down payment because he makes more than me) as leverage to guilt me into doing things for him. He wants me home but also wants me to contribute financially. He gets mad if I spent too much time ordering groceries on my phone but then eats all the food that I buy. There is no support or appreciation. I've seriously considered separating or divorcing, but keep going for the kids.
