Very sad

Hi,

Thanks for your best wishes to us, we live in Miami, Florida, USA.

I was reading about other cases, but mine is quite different, my husband do not accept any help from me, this morning (we work together) he was sick, he was in pain, I brought some medicine, he didn't accept, he was waiting to receive his paycheck to go to see the doctor, I offer him to pay the doctor, he didn't accept it, I offer go with him to the doctor but again he says NO. He never accepts any money from me, he is having a bad economic situation after his trip to Egypt, I offering him help to pay his debt, of course he didn't accept my help.

I didn't ask any money to him for nothing at all, I cover all my necessities and my daughter's, but when we were dating we usually eat outside, (other times we cook) he never lets me pay, he was very nice, always giving me and my daughter presents. my daughter suggests this may be part of his problem is exactly the money, maybe he feels frustrated that he couldn't provide for us, or maybe he don't like the idea that I am very independent economically and make more money than him, could this be part of the problem?

Today I feel very sad, he is sick, I wish I could take care of him.
