Financial and communication difficulties
by Valentina
(Syosset )
Just to start with a question- has anybody heard about a woman paying for her own wedding ring?? Briefly - I proposed to my husband because he was always saying as a fun fact that he will only marry again if he is asked for- having previous 3 marriages..
I have a significant bigger income than he has so paying for everything wedding related and beyond was not very hard in the beginning.. my husband gave up his job as a contractor and he started some other business that was a failure- flipping houses and real estate things.. only things he does now is Uber driving .. he works a lot on our home for improvement but that’s it.. all his expenses end up on my credit card including expenses for his 2 kids from previous marriage and when I ask for some return of those unplanned expenses he asked me for the money I supposedly saved by not hiring an outside handyman.. total disaster.. needless to say I pay 2 mortgages, bills, his car insurance, health insurance , home improvement, out events, saving for college and my teen girl car.. finances. are almost a tabu subject for us, same as his drinking habits or health issues like weight loss.. I feel like I’m sinking ..

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
