Is “Bring Home the Bacon” Too Much in Your Relationship?

In this article I offer tips on working through the resentments of working with an unemployed partner.

You may know the feeling of hitting the snooze button just a few more times before you have to face your work day.  You look at your partner lying comfortably in the bed as you crawl out of bed.  The day races and you face the ups-and-downs of your job. At the end of the day, you arrive home to your partner who spent a few hours searching for a job and the rest enjoying the day, and you notice frustration increases inside. Your eyes scan the house and notice the household chores that haven’t been done. Does this sound familiar?

Due to the recession, many couples face the struggle to adjust to a single household income; one person working full-time and the other unemployed.  The challenges these couples face can be consuming and overwhelming. 

The working partner can feel the pressure and obligations to “bring home the bacon,” fear the loss of their job, and can build resentment towards their partner.  The emotional struggles of going to work daily stress the working partner and watching their partner go through the emotional rollercoaster of unemployment can be a strain. 

Here are a few tips for the Working Partner to get through the tough times:

  1. Express Yourself: Share with your partner your experience as the only one working.  Tell your partner of your stress, your fears, your resentments, and your desires.  Get your partner to understand and be conscious of the pressures you face.
  2. Release Your Stress: Find ways to release your stress and dump it in a positive place.  Don’t bring it home and throw it on your partner.  Instead, put it onto paper and write about it, exercise, and talk about it with others. 
  3. Share Your Expectations: Talk with your partner about both of your expectations during this time of the unemployment.  Discuss the expectations as a team and create a game plan on how you two will be handling the issue. 
  4. Ask for Help: When you are feeling overwhelmed or upset, ask your partner for help.  You don’t have to carry your work responsibility AND household responsibilities on your own.  Take off some of the load. 
  5. Recognize Your Partner’s work:  Simply because your unemployed partner isn’t working at a job, doesn’t mean that they aren’t working throughout the day.  Ask about and notice the time they spent researching for jobs, filling out applications, sending resumes, etc.  Notice the things that are done at the house, and try to avoid looking at what isn’t done.

I want to give thanks to Dr Trust for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the article I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and do not know what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Trust. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. Dr Trust makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good, he can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. Contact

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email [email protected] or Call/WhatsApp cell number +2347012841542
