Sometimes it boggles my mind that he can still hurt me. Not feeling well definitely makes me more vulnerable emotionally


I do stuff for him all the time. Most, I don't think he even notices. AND, even now, I'm getting my own coffee, food, walking around without his assistance except when I take a walk outside. If I can, I DO!

This is our arrangement. He pays me $700/month all included even laundry and dish stuff, paper supplies, washer/dryer, the furniture. His SS is something like $1700. He couldn't rent a studio apt and pay utilities around here for that amount. In fact, I get concerned about what he will do when I stop working and sell the house. There is no way we could live in an apartment together. His son worries, too.
