Hi there... I need to vent somewhere... Enjoy!
My husband and I were married October last year (2022), we are coming up on our one year anniversary. Honestly, we have been together for 8 years now, and are very happy to be with eachother. Although, this last year has been the toughest year of our lives thus far.
I was accepted into a program that is very difficult to get into, and discussed it with my then fiancé to see if we could accommodate me going to school. We both decided yes, the outcome would be way worth it once I graduate. With this particular program, I am unable to work while going to school, it is a full time clinical rotation with classroom days, and you must get a 90 in each class or higher to stay in the program.
Anyways, the day after we got married, we went to Mexico for 2 weeks, where we just relaxed and spent quality time together, knowing as soon as we get back, we would be moving in with my parents... This is because, someone bought out our apartment building and hiked up our rent by $400 since we first lived there (for 3 years). We could not justify staying there, and with other prices increasing everywhere, we felt living with parents while I was in school was the best decision we could have made. It has been SO FREAKING HARD. We are newlyweds living in my parents house... Our intimacy time is hardly a thing, we are struggling (even living here) to make ends meet, because we are trying to pay off old debts, and new (school), and paying just normal bills all on one income. With inflation happening, we can hardly afford groceries, unless it's crap ass food (unhealthy crap), and we have been trying to feed our bodies well and take care of ourselves.
With having no money, and no free time without parents, and working our butts off, we feel so lost. I wouldn't want to go through this with anyone else, but my parents are driving us nuts. They treat me like a child, I'm 26, and I have lived on my own since I was 21, but now just coming back here, they look at me like a child.
All of this to say, my self confidence has been very low. I recently got turned down for a job, which is an assistant position for what I will be doing after graduation, which just makes me feel like I am not even meant to be in the program, but I love it so much and feel it is my passion. I guess I am just having imposter syndrome.
My questions now are: What do we do in our free time with no money? How do we get intimate without feeling uncomfortable in my parents basement? Should I get a job and hope my grades don't go downhill and I fail? What the hell should we do?
Anyway... rant over. My solutions to these problems are this: I pick up some shifts on Instacart or Doordash when I can. We take this time of being stuck at home broke to get super fit and focus on being healthy and active. We read a lot of books we already own. I don't know how to solve the sex thing... But hopefully that gets better. One more year and three months before graduation.... Hopefully we make it!
