About Me
Mom to two boys 19 and 17. They are gifts from heaven and I'm so proud of the young men they've become. Miserable marriage, lonely as hell, planning my escape so I can start all over again. I'm getting my do-over in life and I intend to make the most of it.

Close Breakups & Divorce
I have finally decided that I cannot continue to tolerate the sarcasm, insults, silence and indifference of my husband. He works hard at trying to make everyone else love him and think he's a great guy -- he saves all bad behaviour for me alone. There's no talking and no touching in my life anymore. He's developed a medical problem that he refuses to address so we haven't even had sex in 2 years. My depression gets worse and worse but he doesn't even notice.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- He quit as soon as he was told it wasn't all my problem.
- Leave Considering
- Trying to figure out how to do it financially and affect on children.
- Love Not Working
- Tried telling myself that if I loved him we could overcome anything, but that's a two-way street.
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- At least the cat likes to sit with me.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Therapist will at least listen when I talk.
- Reading Working / Worked
- Books really opened my eyes to his behavior and I didn't feel it was just me anymore.
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- Everyone loves him. They never see the side he saves for me alone,
- Talking Not Working
- Husband will not talk at all.
