Casualties of this war… relationships, marriage, financial independence, home ownership, and so on Seems the faster the drips are happening, the more
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
Quickly things are falling apart personally. Been self-employed for more than 15 years, shrinking disposable incomes have left significant losses (more than $100k) in sales last year alone, forcing the sale of the family farm. Stress has now increased to a point my spouse drinks heavily everyday as an escape and I’m left being the “grown up” in our relationship. Lost more than 15 lbs since the holidays, lack of sleep, Tired of struggling with what seems no relief
Sure would appreciate prayers and any uplifting recommendations for an escape, if not just a momentarily.
Have you thought about taking a mini-vacation? Even if it is just overnight? I know the financial situation is rough, but it doesn't have to be extravagant. Maybe it is a hike and lunch at the restaurant you had your first date with your wife or a night at a Bed and Breakfast. Just something to take a break.
I did this for my husband and me several years ago. Things were tight and we were getting on each other's nerves. We are about an hour flight from Vegas and I found a Southwest airfare and hotel package. We flew out on a Saturday morning and came back the next afternoon. We didn't do a lot. Took a nap. Went to a nice dinner, saw a show. But the change of scenery, even though it was not even 48 hours, did a lot for both of us. I look back at that weekend very fondly.
You are in my prayers fren...
