Thinking of quitting YouTube.. My husband made a comment today about "I don't know why anybody would want to watch your channel." If he can't even stand watching me, why should I bother continuing?

Well I can think of at least 776 subscribers you have that want to.and a bull is one as well.

Some times our spouses are used to test our resolve.

Whether their words/actions are of intent to harm out of the foolishness of flesh (being petty wanting to hurt out of anger) or the innocence of ignorance (Hurting by careless words but without malice)

IF you love your channel, do it because you love it. I'm sure that the first person to stream themselves playing video games were met with the same comments. Same with people that whisper into microphones which is now a huge part of youtube with ASMR.

Your husband may have hurt you but he may not have meant it to be hurtful (being he is your husband I'm going to lean not meaning to be hurtful) ... do what it is you love as long as it doesnt violate a command/conviction from God.

You have at least 700 people in this world so far that DO want to watch you and support your choice to be on.

Not to mention those that gain wisdom and maybe someone to turn to that has the same condition as you with your wrist so they dont feel so overwhelmed and alone.

Hey, I'm really sorry he said that. Did he offer any clarification about what he meant?

If I can offer anything else, it's this: your channel isn't for him, or isn't about him - it's yours. I know a bunch of your vids you've shared your guys story - and it's been awesome. You do stuff with clothes, makeup, cosplay, and a bunch of things - and it's cool. People watch some more than others, but people watch. But this is your thing - it's something you're passionate about, and love doing. Keep at it.

I'm fairly certain my wife doesn't listen to my podcast or read my posts when I write them - but she encourages me none the less. At one point, this got me down - but especially with the website - when I started writing more with the "who knows - if anyone - whose reading", I found it a bit more freeing.
Some days I get down about the podcast - but it's something I love doing - and it's something I'm gonna keep at until I either can't afford to keep it going or hate doing it. If you choose to stop doing youtube, I hope it's cause you'd rather do something else and not just cause you're discouraged. Personally, I hope you keep going homie.

Hope this was helpful.

Had an argument yesterday with my husband, and we are over it now. He apologized, and it's not the end of the world, but there are times I wonder if I was only meant for dating. :oops: I love my husband in all ways, he's an awesome man, it's really more my own inability to deal with conflict and disagreements. I just tend to avoid them, but sometimes, that's not possible.

I feel the exact same way. I hate conflict. It makes my stomach ache. Avoiding conflict in marriage is difficult. My hubby and I had a few disagreements when we first got married over silly stuff. Im learning to be less sensitive. It's not always easy because I'm naturally sensitive.

Yep. God designed marriage to grow us up in ways nothing else can.

My hubby and I had a few disagreements when we first got married over silly stuff..

our first argument remember so well
told him he was bossing me around and that I wasn't one of his employees, lol

learned HE doesn't like conflict as he left house, went and bought me some m&ms as a peace offering
we rarely fight as he won't engage; he likes to keep peace

Wise man.

As the old saying goes:

If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
