Stuck in a Rut
I've been talking to a friend at work and we've been wondering what makes us stay in a job that we hate so much. For the life of me I can't figure out what makes me stay. This place makes me more miserable than you could imagine. I guess part of it is comfort....as in; at least its a comfortable misery. Another reason is that I am afraid that if I find a new job in the same profession I won't like that job either.
I am in such a rut its like I'm completely frozen. I can't do a thing except show up everyday and be miserable. This past weekend I realized that I don't even truly enjoy my weekends any more. They are spend trying to undo the prior week's stress and mentally preparing for the week ahead.
I'm becoming resentful towards my hubby for putting us under financial strain and not being willing to do anything about it. Some of his "side businesses" aren't doing so well and he's unwilling to let them go. We are losing more money than we are bringing in. I can't keep working to support his "hobbies". He's a terrible business man and thinks once he starts a business money should fall in to his lap. He doesn't work for it or put forth any effort. This leaves me unable to do anything about my financial situation. I can't even afford a cheap computer to work on a few ideas of my own at home. So basically I am stuck making barely enough to get by and see no end in sight. *sigh*
I don't know how much longer I can go on without blowing up at him, my employer and having a nervous breakdown. I at least need the chance to try or I see no hope for my future.
