[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagreements about parenting, family time, household chores, he is very self absorbed and prioritizes his needs above everyone elses[/quote] I’m in the same situation except my marriage also includes a highly functioning alcoholic husband. Started individual therapy a few years ago and it’s been helpful. He refuses to go. Key takeaway is to create a life for yourself. Make new friends. Cultivate new hobbies. Be busy doing things you love. For a long time I coped by focusing on kids and making them my world…but it isn’t enough. You need to have your own life to be fulfilled. It’s lonely and sad to live in this situation. It’s really helped to have personal things I look forward to without kids because it helps keep my sense of self. Good luck to you OP. Big hugs.
