I’ve recently separated from my husband. We’ve been together over a decade. It’s always been a difficult relationship and too much hard work. I should have trusted my gut instincts but never did. I stuck with it, we got married, have two beautiful children and I’ve sacrificed so much for him over the years. He’s never appreciated any of the sacrifices I’ve made and doesn’t seem to appreciate how lucky he is to have two children. His negativity has been draining and he’s taken a lot of fun out of my life. A lot of the happiest events in my life have been marred by his negative miserable attitude. Our relationship has ended because of him getting physical with me, which I reported to the police. It was a low level incident but has now been recorded on mine and the children’s health records and their school records. It’s a reminder of the negativity and misery he has brought to my life. Unfortunately I will never truly escape him as we have to maintain contact for the children. We are amicable but I’m feeling resentful over the fact that I’ve given over a decade to a man who didn’t deserve 10 minutes of my time. I’ve lost career opportunities, missed out on spending time with friends and family, cried so many tears, everything has been a battle. He was never excited about our wedding or our children being born. I try and look at the positives to have come out of the relationship (like my wonderful children), but I still feel so resentful. Does this feeling pass? How do I stop feeling like this?
