[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, hugs. It sounds like you are in a very difficult situation. As someone on the wrong side of 40s, I can fully appreciate how difficult the thought of starting over is. Maybe think about what is the most important thing in the world to you. Is it having a child? Having a loving and supportive relationship? I know both would be great, but sometimes we don't get all we want :-( Start chipping away at your goal and ignoring everything else. That's my take on this.[/quote]

The thing is, he IS loving (in his way - he tells me often that he loves me and feels so lucky to have found me) and he IS supportive (also in his way; he doesn't always know how to help me but he tries). But he's also quick-tempered and a little bit entitled in the world, and careless and kind of clueless. I often feel lonely in the relationship because he will get lost in the newspaper for hours and forget that I exist. We spent two minutes on the couch together this morning, just hugging each other and being nice, and it made such a huge difference in how I felt about everything today. (Though I still wrote this post, so...)

He's just so sensitive to being blamed for my negative feelings. I think couples therapy needs to be our next stop.[/quote]
