[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much are you complaining about your job?[/quote]

Almost daily. I know that’s bad but I’m exhausted. I’m 19 weeks pregnant and my patience to handle my job is much harder on me. I’m physically, mentally, and emotionally tired.[/quote]

It's ok to complain, but it's not ok to do it daily. He is trying to help you because you keep complaining but you are doing nothing to improve the situation.
If there is nothing you want to do to change the situation, stop complaining. Suck it up.[/quote]

He brings up the subject even when I don’t say anything. It’s become a daily thing. He asks me how my day went. I tell him. He tells me what will solve my stressful work. He again tells me how I should quit and just stay home while he’s massaging me or rubbing my feet. I want to keep my independence as long as possible, but he tells me how worried about he is for me.

What is keeping you there?  Whatever it is, say to him my goal is to stay at least until x or that you have to play the long game and this puts you in a better position for that.  And have a backup or pivot plan if circumstances are such that you can’t get there.

With all going on in the world I’ve seen the phrase “I hate this timeline” which can be true for many people. So I can see how there can be a lot outside your control as far as the work situation so you have to focus on what is within your control.  For us, we have certain financial obligations and trying to pay off those off earlier or making sure it is set aside (college tuition) are the things in our control. And trying to focus on ways to not let the stress get to us is also within our control.  [/quote]
