[quote=Anonymous]My marriage sucks. All intimacy is over- no sex, no affection, we don't touch each other. Daily life is so unpleasant when husband is around. Things have been this way for years. We have 2 small kids- 3 and 5. The 5 year old has some special needs. I do feel I need to stay for the short to medium term. As bad as things are, there's no abuse, addiction or cheating. Also, I don't want to give up time with my kids. I know most of you will recommend that we should separate, but for various reasons, The time is not right.

Until I'm ready to get out, I need to come up with ways to make myself happy within my crappy marriage. I don't have many friends left, and my relationship with my family is very dysfunctional. I'm just feeling very alone, and sad. I work part-time, but my job isn't very fulfilling either. I feel like there's very little fun or pleasure left in my life. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I know many of you will mention that life is always tough when the kids are little, but my husband had been a jerk long before we had kids. I guess I was optimistic that things would get better. I realize the marriage is over, but I need to be happy despite this fact. Sorry for rambling![/quote]
