Trying to decide what is best for my kid
| Wed, 06-06-2007 - 1:50pm |
I am new to the message board, so please bear with me. I have been married for 14 years, and have three small children. My husband is very faithful. We have had a lot of difficulties in the past few years (unemployment, deaths in the family, a move, tough pregnancies, to name a few). I was always very much in love with him, but in the past few years, I feel like I am really seeing him for the first time. Now I find him arrogant and ignorant on most matters, and I don't really know that I love him. He put us in a great amount of debt attempting to run a business that he was convinced was going to make us rich. As a matter of fact, throughout the marriage he kept promising me that all kinds of financial help for us was right around the corner. I have a great deal of trust issues with him. Not over fidelity, but over his judgement. Mostly I am staying in the marriage because I am financially dependent on him (with three small kids, day care would cost more than I could make), and I feel that separating and living 1000 miles apart would be devastating to the kids. There's so much more, but this the short version. I feel like perhaps I made a terrible mistake 14 years ago, that I now have dragged three little children into. I have no one to talk to, and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there that has been in this type of situation. Thanks for listening!

Smile,
