When You’re the Husband Who Cares More Than the Wife Does

My wife has struggled with her weight for most of her life. I’ve watched her try, fail, restart, give up. I’ve supported her through diets, therapy, ADHD meds, even offered to pay for anything she needs—Ozempic, a nutritionist, food prep, couples therapy. She refuses it all. She says she wants to change. She says the weight is hurting her. She has prediabetes, PCOS, irregular periods, bad blood sugar. But then she skips appointments, ignores doctor advice, eats like nothing matters. Even when I try to cook for her or help her plan, I find candy wrappers and fast food receipts. It’s been over a decade. I’m exhausted. I love her—but I’m tired of watching her destroy her health while saying she wants to fix it. I’m starting to feel like I’m the only one who cares anymore. And I hate that I’ve even thought about leaving.

Feeling Pressured to Support Family's Baby Boom – Am I Wrong?​

In my family, there’s a lot of praise for those who have more children. My sister and cousin keep expanding their families, and everyone seems thrilled for them. But here’s the thing: my sister has never worked, lives off benefits, and her partner has a history of violence. Meanwhile, my cousin, a former drug dealer, now boasts about his “success” while his partner stays home. I, on the other hand, worked hard for six years, earned top grades, and now have a decent job I enjoy—but it doesn’t pay enough to support kids. I’ve tried to have children, but it didn’t work out, and I’ve had 11 jobs in 10 years due to my ADHD. When I don’t gush over their new babies, I’m labeled as jealous. I’m considering cutting ties because their drama, especially my sister’s volatile situation, is too stressful. Am I wrong for feeling this way? #FamilyDrama #ParentingChoices #FinancialStress #ADHD #BoundarySetting #RomanticRelationships
