Canada

Yup. I have it relatively easy. Our relationship is cordial on the surface. We have a house in Toronto that will be paid off this year. We're financially doing well. And we have a wonderful boy we're raising together.

I'm miserable though. She has a short temper. Our interactions are filled with micro aggressions. We haven't so much as kissed in years. I would love nothing more than to leave and just live in peace for a while.

I can't. Homes go for over 2 mil in my neighborhood, rents are about 4k for a 2 bedroom. Unless I want to abandon my son and move far away. I simply cannot afford to live where we live right now.

Instead I'm in therapy trying to develop strategies to cope.

Before anybody chimes in: I do all of the house work, groceries, cooking, cleaning and laundry. The only thing I don't do is fold her laundry as she doesn't like the way I do it, which she complains to me about. I also pay the majority of the bills and child care and then again, I get flak for not saving enough money compared to her.
