I am going crazy sitting at home. I used to be a career woman in finance. At some point, I was working 12 hr days. Money was good, life was good, but I crashed due to exhaustion both physical and mental. I took a break from work, and eventually got married to one of my cousin’s friends. I went back to work soon after, but after I had a miscarriage scare, my husband asked me to decrease my work. I am an all-or-nothing kind of person, so I decided to stop working. It’s been 8 years. My husband is wonderful to me and the children, but being a housewife is killing me. I know that my husband likes me being available for him and the kids. He is the traditional family-first kind of man. If I have this discussion with him, he will talk about having more children.
He will not be happy if I talk about working, but I miss the hustle. I miss interacting with clients, closing deals, wearing business attire, etc. I have passive income from investments, so money is not my issue. I’m just bored. My life is wake up, get the kids ready (and it’s even the nanny doing most of that), breakfast, lunch, play with kids, dinner, chat with husband, sex, sleep. I’m not built for the housewife lifestyle. My uncle thinks I inherited my father’s restlessness and it’s trying to ruin my life by making me think that the grass is greener on the other side. Or should I go back to school or learn something, please advise me. I can always use another pregnancy to get my husband to agree with me.
