It sounds like you do have a child after all -- the one you're married to.
He's a grown-ass man and can cook his own meals every once in a while! There's something very wrong with a spouse who wants to hold his or her partner back from realizing important career and personal goals.
Here's what you tell your man-baby of a husband when he pouts and tells you that you can't go to work, school or retreats with friends: "You don't understand. I'm not asking your permission; I'm informing you of my decision. It isn't whether you'll let me do things, but whether you think you dare to *stop* me from doing them."
You're allowing him to plead helplessness by assuming he'll starve if you go away for a little while. Toddlers can help themselves to cereal, and pre-teens can operate a microwave; he won't starve, and he isn't an infant. Don't change his diapers for him like that; stop enabling him to treat you as a maidservant.
Is it normal that im so dissapointed with my life?
