My husband and I have been married almost 15 years. For the last 5 years I worked a 10 hour day with an hour each way commute.

He worked for a truckdriver friend of his moving furniture. He kept him relatively busy 6 years ago, but for the last five, he's often only made $150.00 a week, which is not much help at all, leaving all the financial responsibility on me. During these five years I offered a hundred times to put him through some sort of training like DeVry, but he wouldn't so much as pick up the phone to get information. He wouldn't having any trouble being supported by his wife if I didn't bring it up. I'm only an administrative assistant, I don't make that great of a salary.

He's only applied for a real job once in all this time. He told me he was going to get his class something to drive semi's over two years ago but hasn't gotten it yet. All he does is give me excuses and empty promises, meanwhile, time is running out.

We're 46 years old with no children. We don't own our own home, or have any money saved for retirement. We have a lousy credit rating for bills I can't pay without more financial help from him. Every penny I make goes to rent and bills.

I'm scared to death of what the future will be like for us to the point it often makes me sick inside, still he does nothing. It's making me crazy. I can't live like this. He says he loves me, but does nothing to relieve all this stress.

What is his problem?

Please, can anyone help me?

Thanks

Hi tink.

Tough spot. This would be so hard to address without being disrespecful.

If he has voiced an interest in it before, is there any way you could approach him about his CDL again?
