Do you ever feel like no one understands you?

My friends have stopped listening because things happen with DH and they are probably tired of hearing it, me taking no action and then get fed up of the same old.
My family think I should just forgive forget and move on.

Things haven’t been great in my marriage, no cheating but lies and things I think are disrespectful towards me. Things have slowly started trickling back to normal but with no changes although DH does seem to finally be trying.
it’s so hard to explain to anyone and I’m hoping someone else has felt like this… I feel like it’s past the point of trying and it’s too late.
I love him but I don’t think I’m in love with him. I don’t want to blow up my kids lives but I’m unhappy and also struggling to communicate my feelings to DH too. I’m scared for the future!
does this make any sense?

Sometimes it is too late - you're not obliged to keep trying if your feelings, trust or hope for the relationship have been chipped away.

To a certain extent, him suddenly showing he can try harder can make it feel worse, because it reveals he could have done better and knew how to, but chose not to all that time.

I think that’s what’s bothering me to honest too. I also found an email where he’d enquired to rent somewhere. It makes me wonder if he’s only trying because he’s realised how expensive splitting up would be.
