How do I get more time to work without feeling guilty and making her angry and hurt?
Hi Omega, as someone who was often blackmailed by my BPD wife into not going to work or coming home, my answer to this question is: you don't. What I mean to say that it is unlikely your partner's attitude towards your working will change. But you still have to work.
From the school pick-ups, I gather you have kids? Having stable income is vital to survival and if her behavior is encroaching on that, you need to set a boundary by doing the amount of work you need to support your family.
I know this is not easy. Among the things my wife did to get me to come home from work while she was a stay at home mom: shred my clothes and send me photos of it, threaten to abandon the kids, leave the house while I was still asleep so I had to stay home with them, constant calls to my office, threaten suicide, etc.
How do you think your partner would react if you set this boundary?
Sending you strength,
