I think my marriage is over. I love my husband but I don't think he loves me. He only stays here because he works long hours and it's a lot easier for him to have someone on hand to cook, clean and care for the kids.
He rarely spends time with me: gets home after I've eaten (about 8pm), works in his study til late (often after I've gone to bed). He will sit in the living room with me on Fri/Sat but he's usually either working on his computer or playing with his iphone. We eat together as a family Sat/Sun but he usually criticizes what I've cooked or how much I eat.
If I try to talk about any of my problems (I have M.E/CFS for example) he just tells me I'm too fat and all my problems would be solved if I lost weight. He's probably right but it's damned near impossible to exercise when you've got ME.
We never have sex, he doesn't even touch me (again because I'm overweight). Last time we went out together, I was too tired to dance so he spent all night talking to another woman (a mutual friend).
I'm so screwed. My life is lousy with him, it wouldn't really take much to make me happy but it's not going to happen. I can't leave him as I'd hardly get anything from CSA/benefits and I'm too ill to work.
I can't handle this anymore
