Thought I was going to have peaceful day and rest and relax.
Nope. All fell to pieces when my partner was given news of not a great sort.
Have run out of money and wasting on my tax return to come in, which would have been here if work didn’t screw it up.
Can’t pay for the injections she needs and now have to cop an emotional beating from her because the universe hates her and will everything it can to fuck up her life.
Edit: my tax return will come within 3 business days from yesterday from a text message from the ATO

  Dont mean this to be rude, but I cant think of a more polite way to say it. That just sounds exhausting as all shit. And whilst we should always support our partners, that doesnt mean we have to be their emotional punching bag all the time.
  
  We cannot be our partner's therapists, and they cannot be ours.
  
  Yes! Please let there be one day where the door opening isn’t the instant start of a day dump where everybody else is an idiot.
  
  Cheaper tho.
  
  I’ll be honest. I can’t even begin to understand how she’s feeling and I often don’t know what to say to someone who feels the weight of the world is against them and and that they want to give up after fighting for so long.
  
  Just to add it’s so emotionally exhausting.
  
  It is. I’m stressed and when it comes to her stuff. When it rains, it pours.
  I was also not good either with my response because I lashed out because of the financial stress when I should have been supportive instead but when she’s in a hopeless mood she doesn’t realise she lashes out herself.
