Not sure if this is the right forum to post this but here goes...

My husband is trying to start yet another business venture, one of dozens! It upsets me because he disregards my feelings of great concern about it. He is just doing it without even discussing it with me. He thinks the money he earns in overtime is HIS to do with as HE sees fit. I'm so tired of fighting him. I have been a stay at home mom for most our married life and have no real work skills. It's hard to think of what I'd do if I left him; would my kids come with me or stay with him; would I be dependent on my parents for years to come?

He's already tried numerous businesses, of the ones I didn't agree with, none of them have been successful. The one I did agree with was somewhat of a success but he 'got tired of doing it'. His multiple business ideas have cost us tens of thousands of dollars, our HOME & MY sanity. I feel he's being selfish and just wanting to satisfy his own desire to be somebody rather than satisfy OUR original desire to give our kids a good HOMELIFE. They deserve security and stability. I don't feel he is looking to do that. I feel he is just looking out for number one - himself. He claims to be looking out for our best interest, but how can that be true if he keeps going against me and therefore against our family security.

Sorry, I guess I just needed to vent.

Diane,

It is very difficult to live with someone who does this sort of thing.
A friend of mine did this to his wife and family for years until one day he actually did come upon something that worked really well. I mean really really well.
But all those years he created intense feelings of insecurity with his wife and children and really put all of them through a literal hell on earth. Everyone knew about it and many were often upset about what he put his family through, But he kept it up anyway and he wouldn't listen to anyone.

Do you have anyone at all, a friend, Pastor, family member that could talk with him?

Jimp,
I do have many loving friends and family members whose ears I've talked off way too many times. They all see my frustrations, but at the same time try to help me understand why he would continue to do this when it does put so much stress and strain on all of us. I am blessed to have such a beautiful set of friends, too bad I can't say the same for my spouse!
