What do you do when you know your relationship with your husband is over, neither of you are happy, but you can't leave?
My husband and I have been together for almost 9 years, we have 3 children together, plus I have 1 from a previous relationship, I have MS and am unable to work. I have very little income in a month. I guess that's why I stay with him. I need a place to live and a place for my kids to live. But things are gettting worse every day. We've slept in different rooms for over a year. Sex is almost non-existent. There is alot of bitterness and trust issues between us.
He never wants to talk about it, if I try he gets angry and tries to blame everything on me. He never will admit that he did wrong, I try to talk to him about my feelings, but he always gets mad and says that I'm bringing up 'old issues' again. He has told me that he's not happy with me, and I know that for awhile he did have feelings for someone else. Although he won't admit it.
He is always yelling at the kids, espically my son from a previous. I hate it. I tell him to not yell, he says I let them get away with too much. I don't know what to do, or where to go. I don't trust him any further than I can throw him, I don't even know if I love him anymore. Our relationship is totally ruined.
WHY can't I leave him? What keeps me hanging on?

If not, sometimes staying can be far worse on the kids than enduring a little hardship but living a mores stressfree life. My first in-laws stayed together for many years due to religious reasons and kids. She had terrible RA and he had affairs. He ended up accidently killing her in an arguement when she attacked him.
I had no college degree when I split up with my X in my late 30's. I went through major depression and pretty tough financial times but I listened to some of what my lawyer said (should have listened to more), cried till I had no tears left and turned it all over to God and said I can't do it anymore you take over. Eventually I found a job I was able to take care of myself and my girls, not much left over but we survived, we bought a small little house with my half of the divorce and eventually God sent me a wonderful man that we now have a good working relationship with. Not perfect but better than before.
