DH sucking life out of me

2 replies

rockymountains · 08/01/2023 20:25

Really unhappy in my marriage due to DH behaviour in general + towards our youngest DD. I am typically a very affectionate person but I have 0 desire to even want to hug or kiss with him like we used to.

I have made clear I am not happy and constantly pushing to talk but he doesn't want to talk and would rather continue making us both miserable. I've more than made myself clear on where I stand but he just ignores me and then minutes later acts like everything is ok.

I feel like all my feelings/ thoughts on love are dead now because of him & this marriage. I've become those people that roll their eyes now because deep down I feel like it's all shit.

I don't have anyone else to talk to, and more put this thread to get my feelings out and open a space for anyone else who's going through something similar.

I think you need to put yourself and your kids first. This is no way to live and gives your kids the wrong messages about how relationships should be. I'm a single Mum and it can be really hard work, you have to lay boundaries and expectations but it's so worth it ❤️

Are you against divorce? You don't have to stay with him, if you don't want to!
