Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I am new here, and I have to say that signing up for this site was one of the hardest things I have done. I have been married for 7 years. We got married young, I was 21 (and pregnant) and he was 24. The first 2 years were really rough, but we got through them. We had some good years in between then and now. Now we are living in the same house and that's about it. Every time I try to talk to him he gets mad and says if I want to leave then I should just go. Five minutes later he acts like the conversation never took place.
He says I think I'm perfect (I don't, nor have I ever claimed to be). All I want is to either fix my marriage or just be done with it. I can't go on the way things have been going. He comes home sits on the couch and watches TV then falls asleep there. I eat dinner with the kids, he's thirty feet away eating in front of the TV. I ask him to take our son to school or pick him up (which is maybe once a month) and he tells me to get off my a** and do it myself, or he does do it but complains the whole time. I feel like I'm doing it all myself, shouldn't marriage be a partnership?
I'm scared, I know he loves me, truly I don't doubt that, but his actions don't match what he says (no abuse whatsoever just apathy). I had to start working nights 6 months ago so I have needed his help more so I can get sleep during the day and he does it occasionaly but he complains and moans the whole time and wants to know why I can't do it myself! Apparently I should work all night and never sleep at all! If I tell him I want to seperate or divorce he will be very angry, I truly don't know if he could ever be around me and be civil if it comes to that.
We have two great boys who we both love to death. I want them to have two parents, but I'm beginning to think it might be better to have two parents who aren't together than two who are but aren't happy. I wanted to have another child, but I have accepted that it is not going to happen with him. I spent the day listing maternity and baby things I had been stocking up on on Ebay and it has been breaking my heart.
I know it's dumb, but one of the things that terrifies me is being alone for the rest of my life. What if I never find someone else? I have no problem being alone, I just don't want to be that way forever. I want to save my marriage, but I can't do it alone. What do you do when the other half doesn't want to see the problem or talk about anything?
Sorry for rambling, but thanks for listening.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My suggestion is to seek counseling. You can get a trained professional to help you explore if the marriage can be saved (which we all hope for). And if it can't, you will need the counseler for your and the childrens sake. Take care, and never worry about rambling on, you need toexpress yourself.
Hang in there and i am here for you if you want to talk,
a marriage should be a partnership when my ex started doing that i
came up with one theory
if hes going to make me act like a single parent might as
well be one. so i left.
follow your heart you will
know whats right and do it.
good luck in your decision
