For the past year or so my wife has been a bit selectively deaf for when I’m talking about myself. It’s not exactly surprising, she’s super focused on our kid and elected to get a second job because she’s really paranoid that we’ll both get laid off in this economy so she’s just honestly focused on “more important” stuff, which I get, it’s not a problem. However when we’re on vacation or just chillaxing or I try to be vulnerable she started just spacing out and interrupting me to talk about something else. She’s aware of it and knows that it’s unhealthy but it still happens. And I’m honestly quite lost. The nature of my job doesn’t allow me to get a second job so that she can quit her second job. She straight up told me that she won’t quit her second job, even when both of us got promotions at our “main” jobs. I’ve taken up all of the things that I can possibly do around the house and parenting… It just looks like an impasse and I’m stuck with a partner who treats me like a cat on occasion inb4 “Just be a millionaire bro” or “Just get a divorce bro” from all the 12 year-old relationship experts submitted by /u/Plenty_Trick_6042
