I am not sure what to do or how to handle this situation. My DW whom I love deeply was all over me this morning, the morning of our 31st anniversary, about finding a job that provides benefits. The job I currently have does not offer any type of benefits package.
I currently work in sales which 100% commission. As my MS started progressing it greatly affected my income. That has left us in a struggle to make ends meet every month.
I am not opposed to changing jobs as a matter of fact I have been looking for quite some time but the only responses I get is for insurance sales. I want to get away from a commission based pay and get back to a salaried job.
One of my worst symptoms is pain which I suffer with in my legs. After years of trying everything known to mankind. I have ended up on morphine.
So my problem is I am a 58 year old man with MS forget the medications I take who would possibly hire me? We even watched a program together about MS and there was a comment made about getting hired with MS and how difficult it can be. Most can hide the fact and not disclose it but I walk with a cane. Without I would be in serious trouble.
The problem is she doesn't want to hear all that. She thinks I just don't care. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. I don't really have a question I just needed to get this off my chest. I have no one else to talk to so I came here to just clear my mind.
I wish I knew how to explain to her that I care deeply. And my concern is as equal as hers. But she doesn't believe me when I try. So I iust keep my shut and take the tongue lashing that I don't feel like I deserve but it is what it is. Anyway I'm done and thanks for listening.
