Think there's something wrong with your marriage because it doesn't go along with one of the common relationship myths that Dr. Phil outlines in "Relationship Rescue"?

When to quit

I am 26 years old and have been married for almost 4 yrs. In the past 2 years I drifted from my husband.

He is 9 yrs older than me and owns a very successful company. He has control of the money in our relationship and gives me an "allowance" I want to become more independent but with this economy it has been hard to find a job. I find myself dreading when he comes home because I know we have nothing to talk about and we rarely laugh together. Our sex life is almost nonexistent and when I bring it up he says he is stressed.

He seems to think our relationship is great but I am unhappy. I don't know if I am in Love anymore? I Feel like we are roommates and we have nothing in common. we had a short relationship before we got married and I think that is why I am unhappy. I know relationships go through rough patches but when do you know to quit?

I know this sounds bad but I am scared to leave because he made me sign a prenup the night before our wedding and I had NO idea what it entailed...I was so young and excited about my wedding.....THE NEXT DAY! I am scared I will basically be homeless but I am also afraid I will regret leaving. I don't know how to make things better. Thank GOD we have no children yet but I don't want to just give up when my feelings are so "up in the air"

Does anyone have advice or has been through this?
