The past 6 months have been pure torture - I finally called a divorce lawyer and made an appt.

I can see you are trying so hard to win the affection and love of your husband. But, the truth is, you shouldn't have to!!! Your husband's actions clearly show he does NOT respect you. Do you want to waste your life away in this type of marriage? You're still young, you have a college degree so all is not lost!


The hardest part will be finally making the move to leave your husband. Then you will grieve over the loss but eventually you will be happy again. But, if you continue to stay and it doesn't get better, I can guarantee the emotional pain will be so much greater when you leave only because you couldn't take it anymore.


You have to be the strong person here. Not your husband.

I understand how you feel. The way you describe your husband, he sound just like mind did.
