Have you spoken to your brother about it? His reply might give you a better idea of how much time he would need. Take care!

I'd let him know what I thought about the situation. And also suggest that before he makes decisions he might want to discuss things with you first. Take care!

I’m so sorry your marriage has left you feeling that way. What you’ve described doesn’t paint a pretty picture. In fact, it really isn't a marriage. But needing to find something to take the place of him, really isn't the answer either. Have you considered a marriage counselor?

It's our responsibility to speak up, and you have. And, I believe, there's also another side to a story we can't always know. Situations have a way of working themselves out. You did your part. Just be the best you can, when you can, and how you can. Take care!

Your husband should be more sensitive to you.
If it makes you uncomfortable, he should respect that. And vice-versa. In marriage, you do what's in the best interest of the other. I hope he comes to see that. Take care.

A true friend loves always. Love is not a feeling, because feelings change. Love is an action, it’s what we do out of love for that person. An example of how to truly love is found in The Book. And when we’ve experienced and know His love for us, we can then pass on that same love to others always. Love does no wrong.

You were not wrong. As Mom, you did or thought the right thing, putting your child first. Since she has no children, she shouldn’t be expected to know what unconditional love is. But having said that, she is old enough now, to be able to understand your need to put your child first. Hopefully, she’ll come around as she’s done in the past. Take care!

Can’t speak for others; but for me, I’d rather spend time with my husband. Or I'd use the time to make our relationship stronger.

Only because I’ve had another chance at life, to me, there is only one book to suggest and it’s, The Bible. I had tried numerous times reading it, but it wasn’t until a friend of mine suggested a certain passage that it became more relevant to my circumstances. After a while, I began to apply its truths and I can now say it is the only reason I’m here writing to you today. I realize your circumstance deals with marriage, but it also applies. If we go into the Bible leaving out all the negative comments we hear about it, including its antiquation, to start with an open mind, we will never regret our decision.

Could there be a reason for this? Maybe, he hasn’t had time to talk to you?

Sure. It becomes a little more spontaneous. But over the years medical issues on both sides come into play, so you adjust. I suppose it’s up to the individual as to how much importance is placed on having physical intimacy. We are wired differently! If we compare what we do with what others do, we’re bound to be dissatisfied. If we keep what we do in the privacy of our bedroom, then whatever we do is known only to us. Hope this lends a different perspective & helps in some way. Take care!

Consider leaving all to just be alone; just be you; just be in the moment; just start to ponder what it is you are running from.

House hunting isn't easy. Maybe it would be best to write down your desires/what is a must/likes, etc; dislikes/what I’ll compromise/etc., along with your husband. Each of you write your own lists. By finding ways to make it easier for your husband, and your husband doing the same for you, could help. It’s worth a try! All the best to you!

He needs to be reminded of what marriage means. Two are united in marriage to become one; not two come together and one becomes invisible. He, obviously, doesn’t place value where he should. Have you tried suggesting that both of you attend marriage counseling? I know you were more concerned with the children, but he needs to be reminded that your children need him too. I hope he wakes up before it’s too late. All the best to you.

Thinking about divorce is the easy way out. Confronting difficult circumstances in marriage with the goal of restoring and strengthening your commitment is the smartest thing you can do. It will help your children see that it takes commitment, forgiveness, and love to make a marriage work. Sounds easy to do; but we all know it’s probably the hardest thing to do. In your situation, I think, going through with your thoughts about getting a divorce would be the easy way out. I hope you decide to do what it takes to make it (marriage) work.
