How to deal with loneliness and husband

6 replies

Gingin2 · 11/07/2024 21:51

I've been married for 25 years, got married really young as my father was very strict - he didn't really let me live my life. However, I have been feeling really lonely and depressed and I told my husband I'm not happy and he did not ask me why or anything. Rather than having a conversation he goes upstairs. We don't do anything as a couple, hardly talk and I feel like I'm slowly becoming really resentful towards him. He moans about money when I do the bulk of paying for everything - to not let it get to me I work really long hours. Surely this isn't life. I would love to live on my own but could never afford to do so financially. Don't feel it's necessary to have a man. My family live far and my daughter is enjoying her life. AIBU

Why couldn't you afford to live alone if you're already paying for almost everything?

I think you should do what will make you happy, OP.

What is your financial situation? Is there really no way you could live alone?

I can live alone but how do I tell him that? I've already told him I'm not happy and he don't care. It's so sad as being married and feeling this alone hurts. I don't want him and we do just live together and that's it.

If he doesn’t care you’re unhappy, isn’t that more of a reason to end the marriage, not less of one?

Sounds like you would be much happier alone. It’s soul destroying to be lonely in a marriage!
