Dear Husband,

We have been married for 10 years. I love you more than I can even put into words. You see, we decided 9 years ago to buy our house. I told you when we bought our house that I did not want to live in this shit hole longer than 5 years. You promised me after 5 years no matter what, we would sell this piece of shit and move back to the town I am from. We live in a bad neighborhood in a not so nice part of town. I did not want to raise kids here. This neighborhood is dangerous. I was not raised in this crap and I will be damned if our kids are. 5 1/2 years ago we had our first baby. This child is now going into school next year. The schools in this neighborhood are horrible. Listen, I know, at the time this is what we could afford. I also know that you were raised in this house and so there is sentimental value for you and your family. We can sell this house for way more than we paid for it, we can afford to buy a house in the town I am from. I promise you. But, you HAVE to help me. I can't do it by myself. There is shit that needs to be done in order for us to sell this house. Your father, bless his heart, tries his best to help, he is an old man. He is also set in his ways and he and I do not see eye to eye on how things should be done around here and if I want something done a certain way and he doesn't want to do it that way, he just won't do it. You have got to stop working 6 days a week, 12 - 16 hours a day. It isn't making us any more money than if you worked 5 days a week 8 hours a day. I am sure this is why moving out of this house isn't so urgent for you, you are never here. I am stuck here all day every day. You need to focus on us, your family, and this shit pile that you make us live in. I am losing my mind over here and no matter what I say or do I just don't seem to be getting through to you.

Love,
Wife

First month of no Pill. I used my barrier method. He did not use his. WTH? This is how we had our fifth child.
