I’m not, but it feels that way.
A looong rough history with relationships and fertility. But here I am with a gorgeous son (5yo), a husband and a lovely home.
We both work full time. Well, 4 days each. income is good, not much leftover each month but we have a nice lifestyle.
However, my husband makes me utterly miserable. He’s so grumpy, petty, immature, disrespectful, impatient etc… I just don’t like him anymore.
But my little boy adores him.
I feel forever trapped because I’m not sure I have the emotional strength to go through the upheaval and start again, again. I don’t want less time with my boy who I waited years for (I’m 45 now). And I don’t want to struggle financially alone :(
Urgh. What a shite situation.
How can I stay but be able to bear it? Any tips? Anyone here who cohabits with someone they don’t like for your children’s sake?
I don’t even know what I’m asking. Just for empathy, no judgment, stories, advice maybe.
Pls don’t go in hard with the ‘leave him’ comments. I’m just not up to that, yet.
