[quote=Anonymous] For years, my husband has said disparaging things about me.  It's clear he has little respect for me.  His standards are impossibly high, and I admit I am more laid back than he is.   I am a SAHM and for the most part the house looks great, the kids are doing well, and I keep myself together and have a lot of interests.   I have my faults but nothing like he makes me out to be.

According to him, I never get anything done, spend time on mindless activities, and don't have good taste.   It's tiring to feel this way.  His new line to me is "you're always angry, it's not very attractive".  Now my teenaged son is starting to say this.  I have had it.   I have worked hard at keeping us together, but honestly it just isn't worth it anymore.   I don't care about the money, but I do feel sad to rip the family apart.   I just feel like this is not healthy and I don't think it will ever change.   I don't expect to meet someone else and I will be fine on my own, but there is a part of me that feels I do deserve to find someone who loves and respects me down the road.

He almost had an affair about 5 years ago.  Not sure I ever got over that completely.  He also is not home a lot and when we go out together definitely has a "wandering eye" even my son notices it now.

What would you do?   For reference, married 16 years, together for 20.   [/quote]
