can't stand my husband
| Tue, 12-16-2003 - 11:19pm |
I have been with my husband for four years and I just can not take another minute with him. We sleep in separate rooms in our house and run a business together during the day and I feel so trapped. We don't fight or anything like that. Actually we don't do a damn thing! He has absolutly no interest whatsoever. Just come home and watch tv until he falls asleep around 8:00. We have so many financial committments with a rental house in another state and a two year old daughter. I was just thinking that we should sell that house, get divorced and I could get my own place with my daughter. I am not afraid of being alone, I really loved it. I'm just worried about my daughter.
Any advice you can send this way would be appreciated.

I stayed in a loveless marriage, for the sake of the kids, and it was the WRONG decision completely. My kids are 20 and 24 now and ask why I waited so long to get out of the marriage as they always knew the ex and I didn't care about eachother anymore. Kids are really smart and sense things. So please don't stay in it for your daughter's sake only.
Kids are very resilient and adjust real well - especially so young like she is. And look at all ofthe great people who are well adjusted and have been raised by a single mom! I mean if you raise her in the "poor me" mentality then no it won't be good for her - or for yourself for that matter! But if you raise her in a positive healthy manner and attitude, she will thrive! Don't waste your years - coming from someone who has been down that road unfortunately! I wish you much clarity as you figure this out...Keep us posted...

Listen to you.....You cant stand your husband? Staying in a relationship like that is not only unhealthy for you and your daughter, in the long run, your doing her much more harm than good as using her as an excuse for staying.
Get out! Get out! Get out!
