Dear Bossip: I Am Drained & Resent My Husband Because He Is Financially Irresponsible

0
0

black-woman-upset-with-bills

Dear Bossip,

My husband is self-employed. His income is irregular.

The bizarre thing is that whenever there is a birthday, holiday or event, he suddenly doesn’t have money. For three Christmas in a row I have paid for presents so that the kids won’t be disappointed. He promises high and low that money will come into his account, but at the last moment the creditors let him down. In the past 17 years I have stood by his side rejoicing when a little bit of money comes into his account. Then, we are happy. But, most of the time there is a lot of resentment.

I’m continuously improving myself. I have a Ph.D. I manage hundreds of people at work. My husband is a good father to our children. He’s a sensitive man, but I want someone to take care of me. I’m so tired of working and paying all the household bills. I even gave him some of the bills so he could take some responsibility. He failed to pay some and I had to step in as we were getting emails from those he owed. He never pays traffic fines either. Thankfully I’ve left him with those. I think they’re now in the two thousands, i.e., lots. Please advise me I don’t want a divorce, but I’m drained. – Financially Burdened

Dear Ms. Financially Burdened,

Your husband is going to keep draining you until there is nothing left, and you are depleted of everything including your sanity, health, well-being, mentality, emotional well-being, and your finances. Stay if you want too, but you won’t have anything to give if you keep allowing this to take place. This is destructive to you, your family, and your marriage. And, your husband doesn’t seem to care.

But, ma’am, seriously, you’ve put up with this for 17 years, and now you want to complain and make your husband accountable for his financial irresponsibility? You’ve allowed this to take place for close to two decades. You’ve taken care of him all this time, and for this long without any repercussions, and now you’re tired? He hasn’t contributed financially to anything for 17 years, and you are complaining? Ma’am, all these years you have held on to resentment, bitterness, anger, disappointment, and regret and lived with it, and now you want him to change. Why would he? Why would he make any effort to do better, be better, or take care of you and his finances when you’ve done it for so long? He is living high off the hog. He is being taken care of, and you’ve allowed it, so why would he stop it? And, please tell me what grown man will sit up in the home and let his wife take care of everything for nearly two decades, and feel okay about it?

And, please tell me how he is a good father to your children? He can’t even take care of them financially. He is unable to support them. He can’t feed them. He can’t clothe them. He can’t put a roof over their heads. He can’t cover medical bills and expenses. He can’t keep the lights on. He can’t pay for their school fees, books, or anything they need for their education. He doesn’t buy gifts for holidays, especially on Christmas. Then, he can’t take you out, buy you things, treat you to a vacation, or even get you or your kids anything for your birthdays, or holidays. Girl, he can’t event take care of himself. So, how is he a good father? If something were to happen to you and you couldn’t work, then what will happen? I’m sure you and your husband don’t even have enough money to last you a good six months in case of an emergency. And, if you do, I’m sure it’s the money you’ve saved. He hasn’t and can’t contribute to the emergency fund. So, please explain to me how is he a good father, husband, caretaker, and provider? He will have you all homeless and living on the streets talking about he’s waiting for one of his vendors to send the check. SMDH!

You are taking care of a grown man. Basically, you have another child you are taking care of and providing for. Now, if you don’t mind being the breadwinner, and sole provider of the family, then, you and your husband need to discuss who makes the decisions in regards to your household. He can’t dictate and run things if he isn’t providing and supporting the family. Your husband is a liability. He is keeping you in the “red” and I’m sure his debt that he accrues is your debt as well. All those bills he is negligent and doesn’t pay will fall on you to pay. Sweetie, your husband can’t even pay his traffic fines which range in the thousands. He will come begging you for the money, or expect you to pay it. Watch what happens when he is stopped by the police, or his car gets towed. He is going to expect you to bail him out. SMDH!

There are two reasons why many people get divorced – 1.) sex; and 2.) money problems. Based on what you have shared and your issues with your husband, I am sure your money problems are affecting your sex life. How can you sleep with and lay down with a man who is broke, has nothing to give or to support you or your family with? I’m sure you don’t find him attractive. I’m sure you are disgusted by him, and his inability to take care of you. If he is financially inept, then I’m sure he is mentally, emotionally, and physically inept.

You say you don’t want a divorce, well, you better get into marriage counseling, and find a financial adviser for your husband to visit and get real about your finances. He may not be aware of how his financial irresponsibility is affecting you and your marriage. He is probably clueless, but I doubt it. I gather he is content with the way things are, otherwise, he would do something about the situation, and he would get a job that has a steady check, and one that is able to provide and support his family. Thus, marriage counseling will get to the root of his problems, such as why he feels this is okay to happen for as long as it has. Why he doesn’t contribute to the household. And, he will get to hear your complaints, concerns, resentment, bitterness, and anger towards him for not being a man who takes care of his family financially. The burden is on you, and this is a heavy burden to carry for so long especially with someone who is capable and able to work. I know that I would not put up with having someone live with me for that long and who could never contribute to any of the household bills. Nope! Not in my house. You will get a job. You will have a steady pay check. You will not forget or not have money for holidays and birthdays. You better get creative. It’s time you speak up, express your resentment and anger, let it be known what this is doing to you and the household, and how you are not going to put up with it any longer. It’s either get off the pot or piss. Meaning, your husband better get himself a job with a steady paycheck, or else the marriage will be over. No more self-employment, sitting at home, and waiting on vendors to pay sporadically. GET YOURSELF A JOB AND SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY! – Terrance Dean

Golden Globes Was Black As Hell

If #OscarsSoWhite is a thing, then #BlackA$$GoldenGlobes needs to be a thing, too. Because between Tracee Ellis Ross winning best actress, Atlanta winning best comedy and Viola getting best supporting actress, the Golden Globes delivered black a$$ moments.

Not the least of which were the speeches, which were powerful, happy and woke. We don’t need no stinkin’ Oscars because the Golden Globes gave us all the power we need. If you didn’t get emotional at the greatness then we don’t know what to tell you.

2012 BET Awards - Roaming Inside And Backstage

Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Visit Jay Z And Beyoncé For Blue Ivy’s Birthday

After publicly attacking his estranged BFFs on stage at a Saint Pablo Tour show, it appears that Kanye West has made amends with Jay Z and Beyoncé.

An X17 report reveals that Yeezus and Kimmy Cakes were invited to the Carter’s Hollyweird home to celebrate Blue Ivy’s 5th birthday. Strangely enough, the Kardashian-Wests didn’t bring either of children to hob-knob with Blue at her big party. Guess that means that Nori and Saint still haven’t had a first play date with Jay and Bey’s baby girl.

We know that Jay Z has a reputation for having a pretty cold shoulder, but maybe he has some empathy for Kanye since he lost his f**king mind suffered a mental break down.

While Kanye came to the party dressed like his typical homeless self, Kim was seen in some oversized outfit that looked like an attempt to conceal what she was REALLY wearing. Could it be that she’s sporting yet another gut full of Kanye??

Flip it over to see a video of the couple leaving the shindig.

Trumptitude: The Donald Claps Back At Meryl Streep’s Speech By Calling Her “Overrated”

Donald Trump Calls Meryl Streep An Overrated Hillary Lover

One of these people is supremely overrated and the other one is Meryl Streep. In case you missed it, last night Streep delivered an amazing speech while accepting an honor at the Golden Globes. While she never said Trump’s name, it was pretty obvious she was cooking him with the hot fire she was spitting.

In an interview with the New York Times early Monday, Donald Trump labeled Meryl Streep a “Hillary lover” and said that while he hadn’t watched the Golden Globes Sunday, was “not surprised” that he had come under attack from “liberal movie people.”

Apparently the interview wasn’t enough because he STILL took to Twitter:

Hmmmm let’s watch it again

Does that look like he was “showing” groveling?

Both Ways: Amber Rose Explains Why She Won’t Date Bisexual Men

Amber Rose Won’t Date Bisexual Men

Would Amber Rose ever date a who goes both ways? The model recently chatted on Loveline with co-host Dr. Chris Donaghue about dating bisexual men.

Amber, who identifies as a bisexual woman, says she couldn’t be with a man who plays for both teams because she wouldn’t be comfortable reports The Daily Beast:

“No,” Rose responded, almost immediately. “Personally—no judgment—I wouldn’t be comfortable. I just wouldn’t be comfortable with it and I don’t know why.”

The conversation continued…

Her co-host, sex therapist Dr. Chris Donaghue, was genuinely shocked at Rose’s answer and prompted her to “go further,” suggesting that she might be under the impression there would be more “competition” for a man’s affections if he were bisexual. (As Donaghue later reminded her, the sheer number of people on the planet means that there is more than enough “competition” for anyone, regardless of orientation.)

“Maybe! Maybe that’s it,” Rose replied. But after Donaghue prodded her for a few more minutes—prompting Rose to reveal that she has been rejected by men because of her own bisexuality—she finally opened up: “Maybe I’m not secure enough to be with a man that likes other men because I would feel like when he’s out with his boys, it’s just more of a moment.”

Blacks And Jews Are Most Targeted By Hate Crimes

Last week’s case of 4 black teens who tortured a mentally disabled white teenager drew headlines about hate crimes directed at whites, but a new report by FBI shows blacks and Jews are still the most targeted demographic reports Columbia Tribune.

By comparison, the FBI reports there were 1,745 anti-black hate crimes or about 30 percent of all reported incidents. Jews were the most targeted religious group that year and were victims of 11 percent of all hate crimes. It’s not clear how many anti-Jewish hate crime victims also might have been attacked because of their race.

That data also suggested that blacks and Jews remain disproportionally targets of hate crimes compared to their population as opposed to whites.

Blacks are only 13 percent of the U.S. population, while non-Hispanic whites are 61 percent.

What do you think of the latest racial report? Sound off in the comment section below.

Odell Beckham Jr Roasted Relentless On Twitter For Dropping Footballs

The NFL playoffs officially kicked off this weekend and the games were pure “poopfests” to quote the phrase coined by Seattle Seahawks’ baller Richard Sherman.

That said, the one redeeming quality of the piss poor performances was Twitter. As with all things, the 140-character social media platform provided us with the entertainment that we all so richly deserve.

The New York Giants got their azz kicked by Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and people from far and wide took time to troll Timberland Twitter over the loss of their beloved Big Blue. In particular, zesty blonde baller Odell Beckham Jr. who reportedly punched a hole in the wall in the back of the stadium.

Last week, Odell and the Giants receivers were under fire for making a trip to Miami on their off-day instead of staying home to prepare themselves for the big game.

This is just the beginning. Flip the page a few times to get a good laugh at Odells’ expense.
