Some backstory. I've been in love with and dating the same guy for nearly 10 years. We are both in our mid-twenties. Back in 2012 he had an accident that left him with a broken neck, a ton of debt, and a lot to overcome physically/financially/spiritually. Shortly after the accident I started helping him with money. He was still in a brace and unable to work, and I helped him all I could. At that time we had been dating 5 years, and I was positive before and after the accident that I wanted to marry him.
He has worked for brief periods of time between 2012 and now. Never longer than 6 months at a time. He works in the cooking industry, so usually working 60+ hours a week when working. But I have been the only reliable source of income.
I have begged, pleaded, screamed, cried that the stress of everything by myself is too much for me. I find myself feeling incredibly depressed, apathetic, and really angry.
I feel robbed of the financial freedom that starting my career should have provided. I feel like it is wrong that we never had the "combining our finances" talk. I did it out of obligation and never knew how long was too long or how much was too much. So here I am.
I guess my question is this: How do I make him really hear me when I tell him I'm drowning and that I feel like this is killing me?
