    My husband and I (both 30s) have been financially struggling. since having our 1 year old daughter. My husband recently started a better job so we've been able to be above water. That is until we got home today and found the electricity had been shut off.

    How'd that happen? He hasn't paid it for months apparently. He thought it was on autopay and was ignoring all the letters we received because he assumed he already paid it and never ever checked. He pays the electricity through his separate bank account I'm not on so I never knew.

I tell him it's okay, I'm pretty stressed about it but we'll figure this out.

    And then 10 minutes later, I hear him join the call! I got up and took our baby into the room and he hung up and followed me. Saying "I'm just curious whats going on, I wasn't going to play." But I honestly don't care! This is all his fault! And he wants to play D&D in the dark while I sit quietly next to him. Am

    to take care of your wife and infant. Especially if you have the only usable charger. The fact he let the power go off in the 1st place, on top of his priorities shows how childish he is. Congratulations on your 2 kids.

    Also nta. Maybe go to a 24 hour restaurant with your charger for a few hours? Or contact someone with a charger.

    Scrambledpeggle .7h ago I don't mind adults playing games like this, I get it, but come on, if you have a 1 year old and no electricity surely you realise on your own, without your wife's input, that you just need to be an adult for a while.
