What a weekend this was. I am more confused now than ever. Friday night I told H that Saturday I was going to go look for a place to live. At first he was so angry, he kept saying things like,”you have to pay for half of the utilities for June and until you move.” And that he would cancel my car insurance today. And on and on and on. I said I wasn’t going to argue and went upstairs to my room. Not 10 minutes later he was at my door all soft and sweet, practically begging me not to go. I told him I was going as I had already made 3 appointments to look at places. Nothing he could say was going to stop me. I had made the plans and I was going to follow through. After a while, I went downstairs and he asked if we could talk. I agreed. And so we sat on the sofa and talked. He admitted that most of what I had been telling him all along was true and that he had problems that he doesn’t know how to deal with. He admitted that the sex issue was totally wrong, and that it was his fault not mine that it had gone so wrong. He doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that he has ED. I told him that blaming me and making me jump through hoops for sex was totally wrong. I told him that it had gotten to the point that I didn’t care if I ever had sex with him again, because that’s all it is, is sex. There was no love involved whatsoever. He begged me to give him 2 months to show me that he could change. My answer was, “I gave you 2 years!” If I give him two months, I just know that it will be the same thing all over again. I just know it. But in the back of my mind, I can’t help thinking that I should. My daughter is very upset at thinking that I might give him the 2 months. I just don’t know what to do right now. Saturday, I was sitting at my mom’s house waiting for my daughter to get there, and I told my mom that I was unsure and this is what I said,” I am putting it in God’s hands. If I find a place today, then I’ll know I’m supposed to move, if I don’t then I’m not.” Well I didn’t put a deposit down on anything. But I did get information on some more places. I have two applications to fill out, but both have some drawbacks. One place was really nice, but there was no place for my dog to be outside at all, not even a patio. The second place, wants a years lease, and I hate to move somewhere and be stuck there for a year, and it also only had a tiny patio - but it was better than nothing. what if I don’t like it there? I’m not sure what to do at this point. I have a few to call today, one that I’m really interested in, but don’t know if they allow pets. Will have to see.
Since Saturday when I came home, he has been like an angel!! Lol He has been helping with stuff around the house, and cooking ( I used to spend almost all day Sunday cooking for him for the week) He didn’t mention the move once yesterday. In a way I wish that I could somehow, provoke him into getting angry just so that I could prove my point. So I really need some advice. HELP!!!!





Wow, you are in a tough situation. The only advice I can give you is to follow your heart. Only you can make the decision on how you want to spend the rest of your life. If you decide to stay with him I do suggest you get some counseling. Oh, there are medications such as viagra he can take for his ED!

You have support and love here at DS no matter what your decision or choice. NObody is going to condemn you for whatever you decide to do or not do. Like all of us here at DS, you are sharing your journey with others, we learn and lean on one another. We're all in this together! You and God will figure this out. I will pray all works out for you. But even if it doesn't even if you try one thing and it goes all wrong, that is okay too. It is just part of your journey. God be with you and your husband while the the three of you work this out. (you,your husband and God)
God bless you and yours.
Big hugs love LaVivre

Kinoka, He can't use the meds he is on heart meds. He has tried them and it's too dangerous for him. They cause severe headaches, nausea and he is pretty much useless the next day if he takes them.
My heart says give him one more chance, but my brain says, he's had enough chances - you gave him two years and nothing changed. Why on earth should I give again?

LaVivre, no one here may condemn me, but I feel mydaughter will. She made a comment to me on Saturday, that really kind of hurt my feelings. I had been talking to her about his request to give him 2 months and she said that she felt like I wasn't really looking. Like I had already made up my mind that I was going to give him a chance. Then she proceeded to tell me that if I didn't move out i had just ruined her day because she was supposed to go to a going away party for a friend that was moving out of state. Was she laying a guilt trip on me on top of what I was already dealing with? Why?
I hadn't and I still haven't mad up my mind. . I am having a very diffucult time with this. My heart says give him a chance, my mind says - you know in the 3rd month he is going to go right back to the way he has always been. I AM SOOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!
