Quote From: newfiegirlOh my, I am so frustrated. I am 36 years old and have been married 8 yrs. We have been thru so much in the last 4 years. I had an affair and lived with another guy. But the last year and half , Ive been back with my husband. I think I mostly came back to him because of the life we used to have and our home. I never have any loving feelings about him. He is just so mean to everyone. He has told me he is jealous of out 7 year old son and that I give him too much attention. Can u believe that? He ignores our son, and is very impatient with both of us and his whole family. He hardly ever smiles and says hurtful things to me all the time. We have been together a total of 14 years. I think I want to move on and get away from him, but I have no money and no job. I am so confused and dont know what to do. I dont know if I can keep living like this and wasting more life away. I want to be happy and I love my son so much. Staying together should help our son, but in this case, it seems to be doing the opposite. This is not something u read about all the time. I wish someone would read this and tell me they are going throught the same thing.
I was in a terrible place about 4 years ago, I really did not think there was any hope. I am sorry for what you are going though. I did find a way to fovive my husband when he had an affair, but i never forgot. I am certain that has something to do with the difficulties you face now especially if there was no counceling or self help books you read together...
I wonder where your hiusband stands, if he wants the marriage to work. I would definately recommend Dr. Phils book relationship rescue. I am doing it now (we still are not 100%) and it seems to be helping. Good luck!
