I’m probably writing this letter just to complain, I don’t expect a solution to my problem. I’m just tired. I earn more than my husband and he isn’t even looking for a better job. I’m the one saving our holidays again. But one by one… We have been a seemingly happy married couple for 10 years. During this time, my husband was my best friend, my best partner in every way. We developed and moved upwards together. However, for several years now he has stopped caring about a good job and earnings. While I was getting promotions, he was standing still. Now my salary is twice as high. I’m also at home less often because I work overtime so that we don’t miss anything. As a result, we become distant and frustration arises. Especially before the holidays.
Christmas preparations. “If you want to spend money, you spend it”
As the holidays approach, tension reaches its peak in our house. I look for gifts for my family and his, and I pay for them. What’s more, my in-laws are not people who are satisfied with just anything, so it always has to be perfumes or cosmetic sets worth several hundred zlotys! In addition to all this, we have Christmas Eve dinner every year, so I prepare the food and do the shopping. In the evenings I feel exhausted.
Then the complaints start that I’m not in a good mood and what I mean is that “I’m making this mess at my own request”, “I want to spend money, so I spend it”. And this is where the stairs begin. I don’t want to blame him for his earnings, but it would be much easier for me to keep everything together if we shared expenses and responsibilities.
Christmas shopping. My husband makes a face that it’s too expensive
When he is about to buy something, he makes faces like it’s too expensive and they’re crazy with the prices. We leave the store with an empty basket, and then I still have to run to it to restock. During the holidays, everyone knows that you need to buy cabbage, carp, mushrooms, cottage cheese for cheesecake – there is no way around it. He would like to eat potatoes and onions, because everything is too expensive! In general, according to him, holidays could not be celebrated at all. He keeps asking me why these gifts, why the preparation. “Wouldn’t it be better to sit on the couch and watch Kevin without all the fuss?” – I hear you. But I want to feel the Christmas atmosphere. I know he wants it too, just for my money.
