“He Doesn’t Lift a Finger — But I’m Still Holding On”: Lydia Velez Gonzalez Breaks Down Her Painful Struggle Loving Milton Johnson Despite His Frequent Absences

Love Is Blind’s Lydia Velez Gonzalez is opening up like never before about the difficult realities behind her marriage to Milton Johnson. Despite her deep love for him, Lydia admits that Milton’s frequent absences and lack of help at home have left her emotionally exhausted and questioning how much more she can handle.

A Love Tested by Distance and Duty

“When Milton comes home after being away for work, it’s like he checks out,” Lydia confesses with a mixture of frustration and sadness. “He’s so tired that he doesn’t lift a finger around the house. I’m overwhelmed, doing everything on my own.”

Her words reveal a painful truth: while the distance weighs heavily on their relationship, it’s the lack of support in everyday life that cuts even deeper.

“I want to love him, and I do,” Lydia says quietly. “But sometimes, it feels like I’m carrying this marriage alone.”

The Emotional Toll of Carrying It All

Lydia admits that the emotional strain is starting to wear on her, especially when Milton’s absence stretches on for long periods.

“I’m not asking for perfection, just for him to meet me halfway,” she explains. “When he’s home, I wish he’d help more, even with small things. It hurts when I feel invisible in my own home.”

Despite it all, Lydia’s love remains steadfast, but the cracks are undeniable.

Holding On With Hope

Friends close to Lydia reveal she’s been trying to communicate her needs while holding onto hope that Milton will step up more.

“She’s struggling, but she’s not giving up,” a source says. “Lydia truly loves Milton and wants this to work — but she needs him to show up more.”

As they face these challenges together, only time will tell if their love can overcome the strain of distance and imbalance. For now, Lydia’s story is a raw reminder that love can be as complicated as it is beautiful.
