[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, it seems you married a man who was never ever meant to be a father.  In our society, there is too much pressure on people to have children and many who should not do.  I think you need either to accept him as he is or divorce.

What attracted you to him in the first place?  Are there things you love about him?  Either focus on that or get out.  He will not change if he doesn't want to, and it doesn't seem that he wants to.[/quote]

This is exactly where I am, as a wife and mother and woman. There isn't enough in the relationship to sustain me, it doesn't even feel like there is actually a relationship. He says, "we will get through this" but the truth is I feel so sad, so lonely and so forgotten as a person myself. I feel like a task master / or ox or something.

This morning I was only trying to get dressed in a centered way, just to comb my hair and brush my teeth, and put on moisturizer, since I literally usually get to dash off one of those but not the others, while juggling twelve other things simultaneously. I drink my coffee cold in the car.  I told him, "I don't think a few minutes for self care for myself should be an exceptional thing, a special event, i need to be able to get dressed for ten minutes and have you keep a basic routine on track." He disagreed.

We are talking past eachother. We've probably waited too long. [/quote]
