@A MyFibroTeam Member I am so sorry for what you are going through. You can only do with you can do. He sounds like a man that would never be pleased no matter what you do. I don't know what the answer is but my husband and family seem to understand to a point. Sometimes I wonder if they just say that so that I don't tell them read about it. I don't know. Mostly I have a good family and can only say good things about my grandchildren. We are so blessed with them and love them more than words can say. You know your circumstances and what you can afford to do but what you are hearing from your husband is stressful and certainly is not helping you. Do you have children and are they old enough to help with the house cleaning?
My heart goes out to you. Post me anytime. Hugs and more hugs.

A MyFibro...

My heart goes out to you. I know it's a horrible feeling to be alone like that. I went through s similar thing with my ex husband when I was diagnosed with depression! He's my ex husband for other reasons, but I've never forgotten how alone I felt!
Now I'm on number 3 and he's awesome. We wont discuss number 2. Biggest financial mistake EVER!
Sending oddles of hugs!

Prayers. I'm not married n my concerns are primarially about how am I going to take care of myself. Try to be grateful for the little things

That's terrible! My father is very old fashioned. He expects my mother to cook and clean. it's hard for her to keep up with his expectations, visit my grandmother in the nursing home every day and deal with her lymphoma on top of fibro. He doesn't call her lazy, but he gets frustrated when she can't keep up or needs a break. This pisses me off and always has. Luckily, my partner is very understanding. My pain flares about twice a year very badly, and the rest of the time my symptoms are mild during the day but at night I'm in pain unless I move or stay occupied.
I think men of different generations are just like that .I hate to use that as an excuse, but many men were raised in this fashion of the woman doing the cooking and cleaning. If your husband is younger than 45, I'd say he's just a bit of an unsupportive jerk. Make his food too spicy for him. That's what I do when my boyfriend pisses me off (thankfully not often.)
