I used to feel ashamed every time I asked my husband for money. This is how I slowly learned to stop feeling guilty and see my worth beyond income.

I used to feel ashamed every time I had to ask my husband for money, even for groceries. I had given up my job to care for our kids and support his career, but when I wasn’t earning, I felt invisible. One day, he gently reminded me, “We’re a team. You supported me for years—this is just another way I support you.” That helped me see that emotional labor and unpaid work still count. I’m slowly learning to value my own contributions again.
