Transcript

I mean it’s not perfect. I feel like it’s a little bit – got us a little bit closer and – because now my husband realized how much I did do in the house. I think they kind of took that for granted. Sometimes. You know, laundry’s always done. Dinner’s always on the table. Kitchen is spotless. And now it’s not. And he’s like, “Oh my God.” Like, sometimes it’s very stressful because he’s like, “I need help” and I would love to hire help like – but we can’t. Because I’m on workers’ comp and unfortunately he just got laid off. So. You know, with all these stresses it has been a lot of pressure. But you know, we’ve been together for 21 years now and we’ve been through a lot. Like, a lot of different things. So this is just another thing that we’re getting over. You know, working together and communicating because if we don’t communicate our needs I feel like it gets bad. You know, so I think communication is such – so important. But there are days where it’s not happy. I’m not going to lie. It’s been – there’s friction, yeah, for sure.
