Lost confidence and it's ruining my relationship
by Annette
(Chattanooga)
I'm 23 years old. I met my fiancé when I was 21 and he has full custody of his son. I was a very eager and confident woman who had a lot of drive and was a manager of a nationally well known sports bar.
About 10 months after us meeting, I quit my job because the hours were not good for our relationship and I wanted to have more time for him and his son (who now calls me mommy). I helped him with his business for a few months and then got another job, but that didn't work either. I've now been unemployed for 4 months and am 3 months pregnant. I am just very unhappy because he works all the time and I'm at home alone all the time. I don't have any friends where we live - neither does he - but he still has interaction with people where I don't anymore.
When I worked in a bar, I was constantly around people and constantly feeling like I had a purpose. Now I'm insecure, and jealous. It's ruining our relationship because if he works late I'm mean when he gets home because I'm lonely and really all I want is his attention. What do I do? My jealousy and insecurity is ruining our relationship even though he says he isn't going anywhere and he loves me with everything he has and he works all the time for us. I need help!! I want to feel beautiful again and I don't want to keep nagging him to reassure me that he wants to be with me. And I want friends!! Please help me!!!!
