Boring husband and I don't love him

I have been married for 15 years and find my husband is probably one of the most boring, unsociable people I have ever met.

In all honesty, I only got with him in the first place because I didn't want to be a single parent any longer and he owned a house and had money, it seemed a good way of getting a better life for us.

I have been kidding myself for 15 years that I love him and I just don't. He doesn't talk, doesn't communicate or anything. If some drama is happening he just stares at the floor and says he's worried worried, yes, and? he never helps me solve it though.

He cries if I try and get through to him, says he's scared of losing me yet still refuses to talk. He's boring, never wants to go for a night out, if I try and have a laugh with him he either smiles and ignores me or turns the TV up. He books the same holiday every year, a fortnight on the canals where he basically sits reading books about canals for two fucking weeks whilst I'm sat there bored to dead. We keep saying we're going to go abroad but he always makes some excuse and books the canals again.

On christmas day he sat there with a miserable face watching bloody cartoons or old films.

He's so unsociable he's actually rude. If we go down to see my family he doesn't talk, just stands there staring at the floor smiling. Avoiding all eye contact. He's actually been known to leave someones house and stand outside in the front garden waiting for me to leave, how bloody rude is that?

He's not depressed, he's been like this for 15 years. I have even wondered if he has some form of autism sometimes because there is no communication there at all. The only time he seems happy is when everyone leaves him alone to read his stupid bloody books or if he's slagging someone off.

I actually welcome the day I have the opportunity to have an affair because I know I'd jump on it without second thought.

I know I should just leave but I have no money and nowhere to go. Apart from that he'd crack up completely, the mere mention of us splitting up has him in tears.

What the hell do I do.

I only hope that my Little girl who has Aspergers doesnt end up with a twat that takes advantage of her, like you have with your DH.

If you have any love for him you would work with him and not try and change him. By the sounds of it he is the same person now that you married 15 years ago!! and you are here asking for sympathy WTF!!! you made your bed and all that!!!

What is it the kids are now of your hands so you no longer need him??

do the poor man a favour and sod off!! you came to him with nothing!! so you can leave with nothing!!

I truely hope that you are not a troll, because if you are then that was one hell of a sick post!!

Speaking as someone whose exh stole 20 years of my life based on a massive lie, the best thing you can do for your h is leave him before you waste any more of his.

I'm lucky, I ended up with a man who adores me, warts and all, and maybe your husband can have the same if you let him.
