Lucky or unlucky
It has been 12 years since i got together with my husband. When we first met, he just broke up with his ex and was very depressed. He kind of used me as a substitute to forget his ex. I knew about it, but i really like him so i try not to let it bother me.
Over the years, i have been looking at his ex’s social media. Not really stalking her, just want to see how she is doing etc. Occasionally lah like maybe once in 3 months.
My marriage didn’t turn out well. We often quarrel about money. I envy her for being lucky enough to have escaped from the poor life i am leading now.. (is it that she is lucky or am i unlucky? Ha…)
I know some of you will bash me, saying that i shouldn’t compare etc. but sometimes life is that unfair huh.. and i also know that people always show the good side on social media so i shouldn’t be envious etc but i am just very sian about being so fking poor lah. (I earn a decent income but my husband is poor af to even pay for his own bills)
Shouldn’t have taken over her place 12 years ago right.. then i may be leading a much better life.
Thanks for hearing me rant.
Here are what netizens think:
- Maybe you were his rebound (we only have your POV): but it has been 12 years since you chose each other. Isn’t it time to take accountability for how your life has turned out?
- Misfortune can strike anyone, so at least don’t envy his ex: you don’t know how their life could’ve turned out if they stayed together. Make your own choices about your life.
- When u say ur husband is poor af, do u despise him as ur husband? Do u still love him now? Do u n him discuss it before marriage? What do u both want to do about it?
