Reply To: “Is This Unhappy Marriage All There Is For Me?”

I can completely relate to this. I’m in the same boat but I’m 36. We don’t buy each other gifts anymore either. We haven’t had sex since my last daughter was conceived which was 2 years ago. I can’t even have a conversation with him. Most times when we talk he just thinks he has to solve any bc complaints or random things in talking and he gets frustrated but I am not asking to solve anything I’m just trying to talk and have a conversation like I do with friends. All he wants to do is work, see the kids, watch tv and go to bed. He just wants a wife that looks good that he can take out to work events if any. After I had kids he wished I would lose the baby weight faster. I completely get where you’re coming from. I just wish I knew what I know now years ago and never married him and chose to better myself to find a real loving relationship. I also thing sometimes I guess this is my relationship forever. I mean I just want a partner I’m attracted who treats me with respect and we’re both happy and committed and supportive of each other. I don’t think I’ll ever find that true love. I feel you in everything you said.
