[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a marriage w/ a dead bedroom, but an otherwise loving, honest, committed, kind, funny, supportive partner (mostly).

I tell myself I can survive it by thinking about the realities of single parenting, solitary/lonely nights, slim change of remarrying, etc...   I hope that when I'm in my 60's and beyond I will value the loving friendship sufficiently and not miss the physical side of marriage as much as I do now.

There are times when I am relatively at peace with it, or when the positives dramatically outweigh the negatives (like when there is a family emergency and my spouse is a rock).  And there are times when I am deeply hurt and despairing.

I won't cheat as I can't conceive of the betrayal of that.  The whole thing is a source of great pain, frustration and struggle.  However, there is no verbal (or physical) cruelty like what you're describing OP.  My husband and I do love and respect each other and we treat each other well.

I'm sorry for the situation you're in - I can empathize w/ the challenges of parenting a child with lifelong special needs and I understand how that changes the decisions you make.

I wish you peace and happier times ahead.[/quote]
