I’ve always had a full-time job until I cut back to working 4 days a week when my son was born, 5 years ago. My wife is very well organized and I’m sure she’s the one that kept me on track. I have no idea if I would have even started my career if she wasnt there to support me. She has also been employed full time, while studying, and keeping our household and our finances and our social life going. She’s a wizard!
After I started taking my meds, (about a year ago, I guess) I’m doing much better, so now my wife can let go of the leash, so to speak. She can finally let go of the responsibility of keeping ME organized. That’s the role that grew on her, after getting into a relationship with me. She’s now able to be forgetful and disorganized at times. Must be a great relief for her, even though it confuses her sometimes.
We’ve been together for 20 years and I admire her greatly for pulling the weight for so long.
I’ve been focussing on me, during my ‘dealing with depression and ADD’ phase, obviously. It took a lot of work and it still does. I’m lucky enough to have such an amazing person in my life and I’m lucky enough to realize that too!
