Been together 7 years. Married for 3.5 years. It’s been going downhill for a while. I just don’t seem to have the energy for anything anymore. Im just fed up really. Every week night he comes in from work and goes straight on his stupid computer game. Then he reluctantly comes to sit in living room where we stare at the TV for a couple of hours until I go to bed - then he goes back on his game. He has every Friday off now, you’d think he’d want to go out and do stuff but no, he just wants to play that fucking game for hours and then reluctantly comes out with me to take the dogs out. Friday night is spent watching the clock until it becomes a suitable time to start drinking because there is fuck all else to do. Saturday and sundays exactly the same. I drink more than ever now because it’s the only thing I have to look forward to. We don’t have sex anymore. Neither of us have the drive for it. I think we need to separate but I just worry about the practicalities of it all. Neither of us would want to leave this house. Morally he has put more into it financially than I have but legally, it’s half mine. I could afford the mortgage on my own but I couldn’t afford to buy him out.
I’d struggle to get a mortgage on a different house on my own as I earn £25k a year. I just don’t know what to do. I’m so bored, fed up, frustrated ... literally don’t see the point any more. We have no kids at home and none together so that bit would be easy.
