[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We almost got divorced 2 years ago due to my frustration with his refusal to work. He was laid off 6 years ago and never put any effort into finding a job, and until recently didn’t do much around the house either. After seriously contemplating divorce for a while, I finally decided that I’m sticking with it. Not because I’m in love with him, but because of how much harder life will be if I go through with a divorce. His lack of working has put a serious financial strain on the family, but if we divorce I will spend even more money on a lawyer, and then alimony and childcare. We’d move into separate places, and it would be difficult for my daughter. I’d rather stick with it and let my daughter spend her time with a father who loves her, rather than at a daycare that doesn’t. He does a much better job now at doing stuff around the house. He’s taking care of stuff that I would have to do if we got divorced. We’ve gotten to a comfortable point where we’re friendly with each other and spend time together. I cannot bring myself to be intimate with him, though. I just don’t want to. I lost so much respect for him over the years that I don’t have those feelings anymore. I have zero desire to kiss or even touch him. I don’t hate him, I’m just not in love with him anymore. I know he would like some intimacy, but he doesn't bring it up. I think he's afraid of what I'll say. We sleep in separate rooms.

Am I just fooling myself that this is going to be okay?

Short answer: Yes, you bet your ass you are fooling yourself [/quote]

+1.  You've settled for a horrible relationship and a sad sad life.  [/quote]

These kinds of comments add nothing.[/quote]

Ummm... Except they answer exactly the question she asked[/quote]
