Recently a wife is worried about the financial crisis in her family. But her husband doesn’t seem to care about it and continues to play computer games all day long.
She is the only one providing income for the family while her husband just stays at home playing games. She felt stressed and financially burdened.
Here is her story,
“Im a working adult(F23) , just married before COVID happened, but i need advise…. Im married to an indonesian chinese (M25) we just recently bought a resale flat urgently because my father wants me to move out from his house. Im the only one working and my husband is in singapore on a long term visit pass. However he has no job since COVID happened.“
“I currently feel the financial burden of paying for the housing loan and daily expanses. Whereas he is always at home playing computer. I urge him to look for a job as soon as possible but he always keeps delaying. Before this happened he was a really nice person. Hardworking and honest. We didnt have much fights, but after moving in togather, we starting fighting more often over small things. To add on, he dosent have any saving and relies on his parents for money. But i feel bad whenever he takes money from them because i feel that we should be independent working adults.”
“I feel even more tired when i go home because he will start nagging me for small things that i didnt do, like forgetting to clear the sink for residue after cooking and washing the dishes. Is it so hard for him to just help me out with the chores? Sometimes i feel like im having a manchild rather than a husband.”
