[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a pretty awful person. He can be charming and he’s very smart but he’s just mean. Both of us clearly don’t want a divorce.

We’ve been together 24 years and I’m tired. Still have young kids. Neither of us want to raise them alone. I need his health insurance. He needs me to cook and clean and take care of the kids.

Not sure he’s capable of true love but I believe we did love each other when we met and through most of our marriage.

If he’s sick I take care of him. If I’m sick, he ignores me. If I say I don’t feel well ( I get colds from the kids a lot but it’s usually not a big deal) he says there’s always a problem and I shouldn’t discuss feeling sick until he’s had a chance to talk because then it’s awkward for him. So yeah he’s a jerk.

He’s finally making good money after years of us being pretty frugal or depending on my parents for big ticket items. 
I didn’t marry for money but geez I’ve freaking earned it and I’m staying. I have special needs kids and he acts as if that part of them doesn’t exist so no way am I leaving him in charge of the kids - even part time. If he had to take kids to dr, he would know zero about their health issues. Zero.

My marriage stinks but I try to find happiness with my kids and friends.

Life isn’t easy. You sometimes get to pick which part of life should be hard. That’s what I’ve done. You care less and less about a person like him each day so it gets easier. [/quote]
