My partner and I used to live together before I became an OFW. Nagpapadala din ako 5k every month and even helped fund his business almost 70k na rin nagastos ko overall. Honestly, I didn’t mind before because I appreciated everything he did for me during our live-in days.But lately, parang unti-unti akong nawawalan ng gana. Since naging OFW ako, ayaw na niya mag work and we decided na mag business nalang, pero pabago-bago siya ng decisions sa life and parang wala siyang sariling direction. What turns me off the most is feeling na wala siyang sariling income and pati future plans namin, parang ako nalang lagi nag-iisip.
Napag-usapan na rin namin ito. Sabi niya natatakot daw siya na iwan ko siya kasi “ganito lang siya” at baka magsawa ako. I reassured him naman, pero deep inside, hindi ko rin ma-deny na nahihirapan ako. Breadwinner ako sa family ko, and ever since, pangarap ko talaga magkaroon ng partner na may sariling drive and ginagawa para mas umayos buhay niya.
Now I’m starting to question myself if I’m being unfair or if valid lang talaga yung nafefeel ko.
