Hello,
I’m looking for advice and to vent really, but I don’t know where to start. Please be kind with your answers as I’m very unhappy at the moment. I’ve name changed for this by the way.
I don’t love my husband anymore, I haven’t loved him for years in truth. Nothing drastic has happened, I’ve just got to the point where I’m sick of living in a relationship where we don’t talk about anything of importance, we barely talk at all once the kids have gone to bed, he isn’t supportive of me, doesn’t ask how my day was, doesn’t show me any kind of affection or interest in my hopes or aspirations for the future, does very little around the house, is snappy and irritable with me and the children for the smallest of things and I don’t want to spend the rest of my life like this but I don’t know how to go about leaving him and it would certainly be easier to stay as I am. I am unhappy in this house and hate the town we live in. He knows this but he likes it here, he’s just taken a new job in the town centre working long hours, so clearly doesn’t plan on moving elsewhere. It’s a small town with very little going on in the way of social activities, and I feel like I’m just existing at the moment rather than living.
I have no savings whatsoever, no friends, no one I can really turn to and I’ve two children, the youngest is still at primary school and I’d have to uproot them and I don’t know if I should stick it out until my youngest has left school or make the break now. I realise that compared to many my relationship is not bad and things could be so much worse than they are.
Obviously I am not asking anyone else to decide my future for me! I guess I just need to vent as I have no one to talk to in real life about how I feel, and I am just trying to make sense of how I really feel.
