Life is hard

[malt_geckos]

Why is it that when hard times come...things get worse? We can't find jobs anywhere, and it's hurting us very badly. Our relationship is rocky and things seem to suck worse than ever right now. I know we can get through it...but it's hard to hold onto things when nothing is right...


Thanks for listening to the rant.

I'm so sorry to hear that life has been so difficult for you.
I pray that God will provide you with a good job, and help you focus on the good thing in life, that you may be able to hold on to them to get you though the hard time.

Blessings,
Carin

I'm so sorry Mallorie. I really hope things get better for you soon.

I've always heard the saying 'when it rains, it pours.' It can be sooo true sometimes. But no matter what hardships you go through, you always have each other, and God. I pray that things turn around for both of you, and until then that you look for the good things in life, no matter how small they may seem right now.

If there's anything any of us can do , you know you have only to ask. *hugs*

I am so very sorry that things aren't going so well and it's hurting your relationship. I know exactly how that feels.. all I can really say is that during times like this, holding on and helping eachother stay strong is what's most important. You know that you're both more stressed out due to everything that's going on, and you just need to remember that and know when to just leave each other alone. Things have been pretty rocky for us as well, all due to stress. Just stay strong and hold on, and I'm sure you can both get through the worst of times together

Sorry to hear things are rough. I highly recommend contacting a temp agency to find some work. If you want to go into corporate type companies make sure that's what the agency specializes in. You may be helping a department stuff envelopes for a big mailing, but it's a great way to get your foot in the door & show them your personality & work ethic. Other temp agencies specialize in the manual labor jobs--usually repetitive things like pickers & packers, inventories, etc. The best part of being a temp is that you can also choose to walk away from the job because it doesn't suit you.

Don't give up, you can get through this.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. We will be ok, just got some things to work on is all. Just keep us in your prayers that we stay strong through hard times.

Matt and mallorie

Issues are one thing, adding stress on top of that is brutal. Mixing them together is only going to worsen and prolong things. The problem is when there's one there's the other almost always, it really sucks. Just make sure you address the important issues and not have them be influenced by anything else going on.

Slumps suck but you'll work through them. Hang in there.

Sure is hard sometimes. Good luck!

Very very true Ryan. The two of you will definitely be in our prayers! Love, to me, is the most important thing in this world, but it's not perfect! There are always going to be ups and downs, and it can be REALLY hard sometimes. Sometimes it gets so hard, you want to just throw in the towel, end everything and give up. BUT I feel that stress alone can push you to that point, regardless of how much you love a person sometimes. Once the stress is gone, you'll look back on it and say "things were tough for awhile there, but I am so glad we got through it together" because I know that in a "stress-free" state of mind, I would NEVER want to leave Mike. It's just that when "the roller-coaster ride of life" goes downhill, I start questioning things.. the point is, though, once all the problems do pass, you two will be stronger than ever before And of course, noone likes having problems, but they are the one true test of any relationship

dangit.. I have a tendency to proof read my messages after I submit them, and I spent so much time changing around what I was trying to say, that I can no longer edit my message. I don't even know if the above message makes any sense at all!! But what I was really trying to convey is that love is hard. It's not that love doesn't exist (because many people don't believe that it does).. It's just that as children, we grow up hearing about all these fairy tale love stories and that's caused a lot of misconceptions about what love is and what it takes to keep things alive. Keeping a relationship isn't easy. Just like life, there are rollercoasters in any relationship at some point or another. In fact, no matter how much you love someone, things can get SO HARD sometimes, that ending the relationship does enter your mind. It's just that because of life being so hard, you may find yourself not thinking so clearly, you say things you don't mean, etc, etc. Once the severe problems subside, you'll come to find that you didn't want to leave that person at all, and you love them more and more (and I guess I should clarify that I am talking about severe problems only). The trick to love is figuring out how to resolve even the worst of issues during the worst of times. It's too easy to just end things and get a divorce these days.. it's rough, and sometimes the only hope you have left for the two of you is a pinhead of light at the end of your tunnel. But the most important thing is working out the problems, actually living through it all, and coming out the other side together.. Never give up. If you love someone, no matter how bad things get, just don't ever give up. I have come very close to giving up myself, and there isn't one day that I am thankful that I didn't.

 

[fallen_angel]

*there isn't one day that I am NOT thankful that I didn't. Or put into better words, I am thankful everyday that I didn't give up. Sorry, typo!

Thanks Jess...Everything is working out great right now...Matt has good news about a prospective part-time job!! WOOHOOO! Let's all pray for him or keep him in your thoughts because this will be awesome for us. And you are so right, we are stronger than ever and we will kick hard times @** any time it tries to bother us again.

I'm so sorry to read that things are so tough for you guys right now

BUT-if you don't let the stress drive you apart-you WILL come through this with an even stronger relationship than before

Adversity is a bitch but if you can face it together-your love will be much deeper and stronger

My fingers are crossed that everything works out soon and you are both in my prayers

Unfortunately- these days-Unless you are independently wealthy everyone is stressed to the max

Hang in there guys!
