Is this sentence written correctly?

Question

This was weighing hard on my mind tonight; Ladies, wether it be taking care of the house or the bills, there is no reason why you should be making excuses about why you can't provide for your family

Answer 1

I would replace the ; with a : after the word tonight...

We need more of a break there than provided by the semicolon.

Also, you have a misspelling of "whether" and no period at the end
