I didn't marry to add stress


I didn't get married to cook I didn't get married to clean I didn't get married to babysit I didn't get married to have kids I didn't get married to carry the weight on my shoulders I didn't get married to act like a mom I want to focus on my career I want to grow and leave I know you don't have much friends Or want to go out But I'm the opposite You said you would step up I pay for everything If I want to go out I pay If I want something to eat I pay Rent I pay Food I pay Things for the house I pay Gas I pay I'm sick and tired of paying for everything Look for a full time Step up Start acting like a husband If you keep the part time At least Clean Cook Do something other then apologize I'm drained I'm starting not to be happy I'm trying to fight through the thoughts Help me make this marriage work If not... Soon there won't be..

My work goes with the beat of how I feel to when I remember a memory I want to talk about it to random thoughts
