Tuesday Ramblings
We sprung a leak in our second car. A leak in the break line. I drove from GR to Coopersville and back with pretty much no breaks. I'm not sure if I feel lucky or am impressed with my skill of being able to drive without breaks. So because have that I had to switch cars with my parents so they can get it fixed and am forced to drive a mustang.
How is everyone's day shaping up?
Re: Tuesday Ramblings
Deeder: Wow, that is impressive to be able to drive without breaks! Glad you're safe.
WOP: My thoughts exactly. Ughh.
My week is dragging. Have a wedding to go to on Saturday, volunteering for the Transplant Games on Sunday. The work week has been going by so slow, and the weekends so fast, it just isn't right!
I am not doing well. The vehicle that we got for me when the engine on my GrandAm went out is having problems. It's at the shop right now. I have a loaner but they haven't called yet to let me know what's going on. I am going to call them at 2 if I haven't heard anything from them. Husband refuses to help me out with the repairs etc. I tried to talk to him about it but he slept all evening and all night on the couch and refused to talk to me this morning. I texted him about repairs to vehicle and he said to find out what they say and then he'll go from there. I know it's time to get another vehicle for me, but I have bad credit now after filing bankruptcy last month. No bank will finance me and only 2 places in GR with finance with special financing but those payments are like 300 a month - which I cannot afford and hubby stated firmly that he is not going to help at all with that if that is what happens.
Confession and I might delete later - I think that marriage is down the tubes and not going to work out. I do all the work and he makes fun of me, does different things, and doesn't care. I texted him and asked him if he thought the marriage was in trouble or done with and he won't text me back. Hmm might be a sign. I have had 2 panic attacks since last night and I couldn't eat last night at all.
Sorry to unload this on here, but I felt like I needed to get it out somewhere.
Forced to drive a Mustang....oh darn. Although car troubles are just annoying & terrible. I still can't believe that mine just closed up shop without notice. Now I have warranty work I'll just have to pay for all over again. Good bye $600.
Charity, that is a horrible position to feel like you're in. I don't understand him not helping with the car at all. Do you do separate finances? I'd always suggest counseling, as that's what got us through, but if you can't get a person off the couch, it doesn't work.
Being a grown up is grand, ain't it?
He finally agreed to pay for the repairs and I'll give him half of it back when I get paid next week. As you can see, yes we have separate finances. He wanted this from the start. He is refusing to help me with a car payment so figure. He refuses to go to counseling - he said I had my chance a few years ago.
