Am I Selfish?
| Fri, 06-08-2007 - 6:15pm |
This is my first time on this board. I am scared and sad and don't know what to do. I am very unhappy in my marriage and have been since day one for the most part. I don't love him like a husband, he can be a real jerk (that's putting it lightly), smokes pot, drinks too much, and I am not attracted to him which really angers him. I would love to leave and if I didn't have kids it would be as easy as that. But I do. A 1-yo and a 3-yo and I am terrified. Not about being alone. I am very comfortable with that and know that I will be happier alone then where I am, not nervous about the finanical implications- I can figure that out, but absolutely petrified that I am going to ruin my children's lives. Should I ignore my unhappiness for the next 30 plus years? I don't know what to do. My husband says it's selfish of me to want to leave, and that I will never be happy. I need some thoughts here.
