Me and my husband moved in with another couple until we are called for base housing. (were #40 on this list) We pay this couple 300.00 a month for 1 bedroom. My husband works 16 hours a day and then has to do the up-keep on the yard because they are to lazy to do it. I also have to clean the house wash all the dishes, because again, they won't do it and I can't live in filth. What am I suppose to do? Sometime I feel like I'd rather be homeless! She has a baby and one on the way and talks in babytalk to her husband 24/7. It makes me wanna throwup!! What can I do? It's like when my husband leaves for work, I stay in my room and won't come out till there asleep because I don't wanna hear them fighting or her talking like a damn baby.

BitsandPieces answered Wednesday August 16 2006, 2:53 pm: I was only wondering IF you were jealous, but you have made it clear you are not. Well, you are certainly entitled to you feelings and I can empathize with being in such a situation. You mentioned that the husband is "abusive" and that concerns me. Especially with a baby in the house and a pregnant wife. I hope that none of you are in danger, but if have any reason to think that you are, please contact your local police. If that is really not the case, I would suggest escaping in some good books, playing music to tune out the noise...maybe headphones? Also, try going on some walks and getting to know some other people...hopefully more sane ones! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

There is literaly nothing you can do about it. I would hate it too, trust me. If you don't have to option of staying somewhere else, I would suggest finding another way to occupy your time during the day. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
Elcee answered Wednesday August 16 2006, 6:06 am: It sounds absolutely horrible for you, but it will end eventually. I know that at the moment it seems like you have no choice but is it possible to move into another house-share? Do you have any family that could help out with short-term accommodation?
Unfortunately I don't think that there is a lot you can do about the baby talk. However, you may be able to re-negotiate your arrangements more in your favour. Could you get a job that will take you out of the house for a couple of hours every day?
When you are in your room perhaps you could use a pair of ear plugs to drown out the rowing or you could use a personal walkman around the house.
Try chasing the housing people a little to check on the progress of your move up the list. I sincerely hope that you are able to work out a better deal for yourself and I wish you well for the future. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
