Sometimes I am not happy with my life.

I am not happy being a mom or a wife. I am not happy being a full time student, stay at home mom, or anything. i move a lot and i don’t have any friends. my husband says that me having friends will come in between us, but we are less ‘together’ than we have ever been. he has a great job and we have plenty of money, and he has friends…but i don’t. i am bored and sad and i wish i had a different life. i know that I am complaining about basically nothing, because it could be worse. i just feel like a horse that got kicked when it was down. tried talking to hubs about it, and he basically told me to suck it up because my feelings didn’t matter. lovely man. sometimes i even think about getting a divorce. i have tried praying. sometimes it helps. some days it doesn’t. i don’t know what to do. i don’t have any money of my own, and i have never really had a job, i have always been a student or a stay at home mom or both. i don’t know that i could make a change even if i wanted to. i am tired of being sad.

Hi, I’m sorry, I wanted to reply yesterday, but I am going through a lot right now and I just couldn’t finish reading it last night.

You should be allowed to make friends, and it’s definitely not fair that he has friends and he won’t let you. Tell him that friends will make you happier, and if you’re happier, the marriage will probably get better. Hahaha I feel the same way, except maybe a giraffe, hah.
I’m sorry that your husband did that, he should be trying to make you feel better.

You should look into crafts that you can sell on ebay or etsy.com, maybe create some art and sell it. Abstract art is pretty easy, I often just start with a squiggle and add details from there, like circles, points, squiggles, just let the pen flow.
I have to go now, but you should look at my other posts.
take care, i hope things improve.
