  • Listen, this has nothing to do with clingy. My frustration and loneliness comes from his main focus being the business. He has not taken any effort to research or read anything with me and he has no empathy towards my not feeling well. If you got the impr
  • Thank you everyone else that has responded, I feel better. I think I just needed to vent a little :
  • I am inbetween jobs right now so that doesn't help. I'm alone a lot during the day which is when I really struggle. I'm doing temp work here and there and should have another project soon and that helps a ton. We also haven't told a lot of people yet besi
