Christina, I hear you, what a powerful story to share. It’s vulnerable , honest and I hear your every word. A very unusual situation indeed. and I can only imagine what you feel having not experiencing it myself , but I have a close friend in a similar circumstance who told me that what has pulled her through is her faith in God. Their children are all grown and on their own and she told me recently that she wouldn’t want any other man that the one she chose to be husband. It’s difficult for one hand to clap especially when the financial responsibilities are uneven.I don’t know why your circumstance is designed the way it does but
If you feel pressured maybe it’s time your partner find a way to start helping with the finances too
