[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound very unhappy and unsatisfied in your marriage.

In marrying young, I am pretty sure you also gave up some of your youth and all of the [i]freedom[/i] and wonderful experiences you could have had.

After fifteen yrs., you feel undervalued, unappreciated as well as carrying most of the responsibility of the home and children.

In my opinion, it is very [u]unfair[/u] of your husband to expect you to do the brunt of the driving, cooking, cleaning and childcare duties along w/holding a job. Trust me, [b]anyone[/b] in your shoes would feel the exact same way OP.  :x

And then when you raise your concerns, he blames you! What nerve!!

It sounds like all your respect and love for him has gradually eroded over the years and like you stated, you just don't care anymore.

If you think you can get those positive feelings back, for instance, if your husband changed his ways tomorrow...Do you [i]think[/i] you could start to love him like you once did? In other words, is this marriage salvageable? If you think it could be, then I suggest talking to your husband when both of you are alone w/out any distractions or children. Best time would be when both of you are calm and in relatively good spirits. Let him know how overwhelmed you feel on a daily basis and that you feel like he is taking you for granted. Let him know that it is stressing you out both physically and mentally and that you really need more support on his end.

If however, you do not think there is any hope for the two of you, there is no shame in parting ways.

To spend the rest of your life miserable + unhappy just for the sake of "the kids" makes no sense.

Hope this helps.

Good luck. [/quote]
