[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are 50. Special needs kids keep us together because we can’t handle them on our own. 
I can’t stand him about 60 % of the time. He’s mean and probably doesn’t love me. Told me he’s loyal so that’s better than love (I guess that’s an admission he doesn’t love me).

He makes good money, leaves me alone most of the time and I can’t see myself divorcing.

My parents had a not so great marriage and my in laws divorced in their late 70’s. 
I think both of us stopped looking for happiness a while ago. I don’t think it bothers him. For me, I feel sad every day I never found someone who really cared about me. I may dislike my husband but I do care about his well being. I sense it’s not something he thinks about for me. Or anyone. [/quote]

I'm sorry for your pain but I want to tell you that loyalty to you and commitment to your children is a form of familial love.  Your husband may take you for granted but perhaps that is what family is?  The people you expect, rightly or wrongly, to go through all of life with you?[/quote]
