I think my marriage really is dead...

My husband does things at me and not with me. This includes sex. This morning I tentatively put my hand on his shoulder, and then moved my hand back to me. He took it and put it back on his shoulder saying it felt nice for him. He has long had a habit of picking up bits of me and placing them on bits of him for his satisfaction. It makes me feel horrible and as though I have nothing to give. It has all been taken. I feel violated. There is no communication with him. If I say I don't like something, he takes it as a rejection and there is nothing further to do.

Am I in an impossible situation where we will never be able to work this out, or should I accept that it's time we parted company?

How are you today, Easytoeat? I'm sorry you've been finding it hell. Is he still gone? Is he giving you money to help feed and keep the children? Have you agreed on a contact plan?

My friend has recently split up with her sponging feckless partner, and though she a money cash available without having to carry him, it is harder for her because he willnot commit to any sort of routine or regular payment - neither datewise nor amount. He likes to come charging in like a White Knight to save the day. And then he's exceptionally nasty to her.

It is hell, it can be hell, but it won't always be. It will get better. It may get better as soon as you have a solicitor's letter to him about thechldren, and his responsibilities to them. I am trying to persuade my friend to do that, atm.
