[quote=Anonymous]Angry sexless guy.... divorced woman here. You could have been my ex-husband. At 16 years of marriage, with 2 elementary school kids, working full time (I was def the breadwinner) I was exhausted. Bone weary exhausted. I thought I had the flu, I was so sore and tired, and I couldnt shake it. My husband started having to pick up more child care duties on the weekends because I was so worn down. We went from having sex 4 or 5 times a week to maybe once a week. After about 3 or 4 months, I found an email to his coworker that made it clear he was having an affair. I was devastated. Went to my doctor needing some sort of valium or something because I couldnt stop crying for days and days. My doctor was alarmed and did a full work up on me, and discovered my thyroid had completely crapped out. It was at extremely dangerous levels. Over the course of the next few months, we figured out the right dose of thyroid meds and I got my energy back and started to el like myself. My ex's explanation was "you seemed so checked out... I assumed you were just done with me."  My perspective... my ex was such a passive aggressive, selfish, self-absorbed pathetic little man that instead of helping me recognize and address a potentially fatal health crisis, he chose to take it personally and step outside the marriage. He was incapable of thinking about anyone but himself.

Fast forward years later, I'm kicking ass, in the best shape of my life, dating a rich NFL player, and getting my freak on. My ex got demoted at work for sleeping with a coworker, is renting a sad little apartment, gained at least 50 lbs, is single, and his family and kids want nothing to do with him. It's absolutely pathetic.

Use your words. Marriage requires communication.  If my ex had thought for one second that maybe he should talk to me, let me know how he was feeling, our story could have had a very different ending. But instead he decided to behave like you, a sad angry little man who assumes everyone is out to get him. [/quote]
