Dear "black tulip"

Quote From: blacktulip

I'm going to be married for seven years in October. No children at this time. Lately everything my husband does annoys the heck out of me. From calling people names to making noises (Like if the weatherman says its foggy out. He makes a fog horn sound). He's constantly telling me that I am mean to him. Like the other night. I was sitting on the loveseat with him. I got up & moved to the couch. He said I was mean & didn't want to be with him. We've had some bigger fights about family. He's come out & said that I don't love him & don't care about him and his family. We also haven't been sexually active in awhile either. He's tired. He either loses or can't maintain an erection. He did get some samples of Levitra. He won't use them. He said he doesn't want to plan sex. Though he wants to start a family. I find that my heart is not in the relationship any more. I'm at the point where I don't want him to even touch me any more. I'm not sure I even love him any more. Also about a year ago. I walk into the house & there is a pair of ladies underware & bra on my kitchen table. He claims they were shoved in the back of our mailbox. Since then, it has always been in the back of my mind that he may have cheated. A few months back. I came across & costume jewelry braclet in his center console. He cames he found it on the ground. To this day, it still sits there. I have found that I have feeling for a guy that comes in where I work. We flirt a lot & have a lot of fun together. I find myself thinking about him all of the time. He's divorced with a son. I just don't know what to do any more.

Nobody is perfect, of course your mate is going to get on your nerves at times!! I know my hubby definatly annoys me sometimes, sometimes its something petty, other times its my own irritability and not really anything that he did. In the beginning of your post, I was thinking that you are having symptoms of what they call the "seven year itch" and by the end of your post I was then definatly thinking that might be what is going on. Listen, don't be so quick to take up with another guy just because he's fun and flirty...wasn't it that way with your hubby at one time, also? Of course it always is in the beginning of any relationship. But then, reality sets in, the mundane everyday tasks of life take over, and before you know it, you are annoying one another. 

When you moved to another seat and your husband said you didn't want to be with him... it sounds like he might have an instinctive feeling about you with another guy... but then you are listing things that have made you suspicious of him in the past, like you are pointing a finger when what really is happening is that you are interested in another guy. 

Think before you decide that your relationship is over. Remember that no matter who you are with, life gets to be boring and annoying at times.

You're vulnerable.

 I wouldn't jump into anything with another person right now. You are vulnerable because you and your spouse are not getting along. A sexless marriage can be a trigger to everything you are feeling and suspecting. I wouldn't buy his alibi about the underwear in the mailbox or the jewelry in the car, either. I would let him know that you are suspicious of his behavior because 1. he has access to Levitra and won't use it to satisfy you, so why does he have it? 2. If he won't plan sex with you, when CAN you expect it!? 3. The underwear and jewelry stories stink to high heaven. Be honest with him and tell him other men (you don't have to specify which ones) are looking pretty darn good right about now, how does that make him feel?   Oh, and get tested for STD's in case he IS using the Levitra.
But don't do anything rash with someone else until you are divorced if that's what it comes to. It's not fair to the new person and no way to start fresh, you owe that to yourself.

Hello.  I am so sorry for your present marital difficulties, especially hearing that "your heart isn't in it anymore," and I can completely understand you feeling like you have run out of options.  However, even in the most dire of situations, there is always hope in getting your marriage back on track, if that is what you want.  I have been turned onto a great website called www.divorcebusting.com which has a wealth of information on saving your marriage.  They offer telephone coaching consultations with highly-skilled mental health professionals who have been personally trained by Michele Weiner-Davis.  Their solution-oriented approach has been quite effective for some friends of mine, so I wanted to pass along this information to you.  

   

I wish you strength at this time.  Talk to a professional.  

   

Best,  

nikita
