I'm a regular name changer on here. I don't like giving all my details away but I have a few kids, more than one with SN. I've been married for years, I'm 33.
I'm so BORED, is that what life is like, I look at my husband and think is this me for the rest of my life?
I stop myself from leaving because I'm putting the kids first. They are happy here and tbh I couldn't cope with them on my own. If it was just me, I'd go but i can't.

Have you tried anything to make life more interesting?

I agree with Pink, I appreciate it sounds really difficult for you to get any time for yourself but I think if you want to be less bored then that's essential.

I can't, no helpful family or friends for babysitting. My life is my kids and him, it's just the way things have turned out. Don't think he'd be happy if I joined a course etc

Ok well it's hard when you feel dissatisfied with life and don't know what to do.

Is there any chance you could be depressed? Maybe a visit to the doctor could help? Mental health issues are nothing to be ashamed of, not that I'm a doctor!

If there are no underlying issues, Is there any way you could think of all the good things in your life and things you have to be thankful for? Health, strength, wealth, healthy children?

Maybe find a new interest with the children? Try to get out and about and meet new people?

Have you tried t gently approach your feelings with your dh?

headlesslambrini · 30/05/2013 20:21

are there any MN meet ups going on near you? Maybe try something like that instead.

Fairylea · 30/05/2013 20:34

Could you leave dh with the kids and do something for yourself ?

Sorry I've just been having a bad week and I'm having a moan! Thank you for your comments, much appreciated and I've asked for this thread to be deleted. Thanks.

"Don't think he'd be happy if I joined a course etc"

That makes him sound rather obstructive and unsupportive. If you need outside interests to keep your spirits up, he should be helping you rather than standing in your way.
