Love lifts you up!

love is vaste of time

Yes, I thought I did. My husband and I have been together for 9 years and married for 8 years. We have 2 children. Except for a little bumpy start towards the beginning of our relationship, things have always run smoothly. This was a man whose smile was the very first thing I noticed the minute I met him, and I knew that I wanted him in my life. To me, it was love at first sight! During the last few months, things have changed though. I lost my job in 2006, and was on unemloyment. Then that ran out. We thought we could make it with me staying home with the kids while he worked, plus, I was trying to get a little business going on Ebay. It hasn't worked out with that. The last few months have been very strained between us. I've been trying to look for work, but since my husband works 2nd shift and we only have one car, I can only work mornings and weekends. Not one place has called me back that I applied to. We applied for food stamps, thinking that with 2 growing kids, it would at least help. Yesterday, I found out that we were denied because we were over the income level by 200 dollars. Our only car is falling apart and my husband is freaking out. Today, for the 2nd time in 6 months, he told me that if things didn't get better, I better start packing my bags. And this time it was worse because he said this in front of our daughters, who are only 7 and 6. I cried all afternoon, he's at work, and my kids keep asking me if I've smiled at all today. It breaks my heart that my husband said this to me. I always thought that he was my soul mate, the love of my life. I guess I was wrong.
