Hi, thanks for sharing your frustrations.
I totally understand, as I just checked my bank account, and had to pay part of my mortgage and I'm on paternal leave. My wife is working, and I took the 9 months with our 2nd child, as a work opening came up for my wife (after she did her 4 month maternal leave). The job fell through, and she was lucky enough to get her other job back. She also got a new position and a raise.
Usually I'm the "bread winner" and my pays are usually double, or almost triple hers. I have no problem doing 60/40 or even 70/30, why? Cause we are married and I love her. Whatever it takes to get us through whatever financial problems we have. I actually have to call for my TFSA and take out more money to cover, as EI payments are less than half of what I could make. Even at the full 60%.
Do your training, and don't feel guilty about doing it. Health is very important, and money comes and goes. You've already paid, but you need to focus on becoming the healthy person you are striving for. If you need money, kijiji stuff that really doesn't have any effect in your life. Sell Sell Sell. I've been selling rats on the side for extra cash, and personal items to cover any other areas.
He loves you, and wants the best for both of you. You'll get through this
