I just can’t stand my husband. I’ve felt like this for years but made the decision to stay, mainly because I wanted a stable childhood for my children and as his parenting skills are mediocre at best, I hated the thought of letting him look after them alone. Main issues are as follows:
he moans and complains incessantly, about everything.I’m his emotional punchbag
he’s awful with money and I have to support him financially a lot (I do earn more)
he hates me going out with fiends, I am allowed but he doesn’t like it
he complains we don’t have sex enough and if we do, it’s not exciting enough (we’ve been together for over 20 years, I tell him his moaning doesn’t help my libido, and the he gets angry)
I do the vast majority of household chores, work full time, have a small business and am studying for a masters.
Obviously, I’ve had enough and want my freedom. However, despite his behaviour, I know he is madly in love with me and will be absolutely devastated if I leave. He’s also a lot older than me and I feel bad leaving when he’s near retirement age.
Help please folks xx
