Right now I'm the only bread winner. My husband could NEVER make what I'm making. I just got promoted too. My job really isn't super stressful, and I don't have to be on my feet at all, so if I can get a handle on my wrists during the day, I'll be fine (for at least a little while). But if it gets worse, then who knows. I live in NorCal, which is expensive to live, but worth it. I'm getting a medical settlement soon, so depending on how much I get, there is always a possibility of moving to a cheaper area, but I need to be around city life. He'd be happy in the sticks. But I will have to evaluate all that once I find out what's really causing all the PN.

My husband's issues are once in a while, he has SAD so it's worse this time of year, he'll be at least a little better in a month or so. His mom had early onset Alzheimers, and him seeing me like this reminds him of her, which is totally stupid, but at least he can admit that. But he flat out doesn't want to help with a lot of things (like cooking). We've talked about how he needs to step up his help. I wish he'd get a job, but our daughter needs so much attention. He has caregiver burnout from being a SAHD, so maybe that's why he's treating me the way he has? I just wish I could fully get through to him.
