| Yes, I feel your pain 100%. I sit here crying now feeling exaclty what you have just described. Different circumstances, but the end feelings are still the same. I just recently asked my husband did he feel we should seperated and with no real emotion he said NO! But I of course do no believe him. I thought I was alone with the pretending. I feel like I'd rather pretend all was good then to be miserable, but at the same time hate the fact that for him he feels like we are moving past it, when all Im doing is letting fester in my heart. And truthfully it makes me angry that he thins that! I wish you the best in your life and all you do.... ↑ |

| I would sit him down, and actually ask him to listen because you have something very important to say. Ask him if he still loves you and if he cares or not? Then if have a long discussion about how you can fix all the problems and get back to how it was 13 years ago! ;) good luck! ↑ |

| im on the same boat. i was so hurt during those times that he was telling on me to his mother , things that surprised me a lot. all my hard work that i had hoped to received a compliment, he told his mom the irony of it. and one thing i can,t forget, even telling her that i spent all his money and leaving him nothing....tssk.... i looked at my self and my tears fell,,,,,,asking my self''''WHAT DO I POSSIBLY HAVE THAT WILL REFLECT TRUENESS IN WHAT HE SAID? I have 3 kids to supply upon with, him being the 4th. I was actually the mother of 4 and never a wife of one. I thought of retaliating in front of his mom by saying things about him, but i felt that im about to eat my tongue for it wont come out to spill it. I cant do it, I chose to kept it in me as what i normally do, been successful for 13 years. but in time, my chest' started to complain. It felt the heaviness of it's load....maybe im starting to give up,my mind heart is telling me "HE FALL OUT OF love ON ME" but my mind interprets "MAYBE HE'S JUST THAT COLD, thats the way they were raised!"...anyhow, im feeling the hurt and rationalizing with it doesnt help.maybe im ending it, for it looks like it is his like........ ↑ |

| Similar situation; after only 1 yr of marriage, I had a double mastectomy done. Now I am frequently catching my husband on porn sites and being sneaky often. I don't want to continue living with him "looking around" at others just due to my "looks". Before, I was his everything. Now...not sure i'm anything. Not sure who to turn to. Its well past any insecurities I have. He sneaks out of bed; goes to computer...and makes me wonder all the time what "else" he's doing. Doesn't seem fair to me not to be enough anymore. Feel like this was based on good looks; and now what.....? ↑ |

| Really?! Why do we put up with this from them?! We are made to carry it all and sacrafice our bodies, our souls, hobbies, joys, careers and everything else so our husbands can do what they want persue what they want and live a life only to say later on that "they are out of love with us". Love is a conscience CHOICE not a feeling. Feelings are fleeting and temporary. Choices are forever. Do not ever let a man forget who sits on the throne and its not him ↑ |

| I read through so many of these replies..... I realize this thread is very old, but I still see it's active. I am not married, my fiance and I have been together for more than 5 years, and we were to be married this year. We have been through a lot in our time together, and I love him very much. Last weekend he said he needed a break and decided to stay at his mother's house. We talked and texted through the week, but it was always him telling me I needed a plan, needed a plan. I am SAHM, he works very hard for all of us. I have two kids from a previous relationship and we have one together. He has been around so long that he is like a father to my other children as well. I refused to talk of making plans to move out or anything of the sort. I wasnt ready for that. I was heartbroken and lost. Well this past Thursday he called me at 630am and asked to let him in I did and he came in all tears and emotional asking me to take him back, that he was wrong, he loved me, and he was sorry. I asked him if he was sure. He said yes. He said hell never hurt me again, Said that he didnt give out relationship a fair chance. I was so happy. SO happy. Now here it is Saturday night, two days later and hes gone again, He said he feels nothing for me anymore. That he loves me, but isnt in love with me. That he is unhappy and doesnt know what he thought would happen by coming home. He said he thought that things would return to normal, but they didnt for him. I am devastated once again. He shattered everything for me last weekend and Thursday came back so I started picking up the pieces, and now hes gone and broken everything again. He wants me to understand, but I dont. We were to be together forever. I love him, so so much. Im still in love with him as well. Things werent going well lately for us, but I wanted to get help. Now Im too late. I know I messed up things in the past, I know I was bitchy, but I was unhappy too. I just want to work and be happy again. My heart is breaking so bad right now. I dont know how Im going to function. I dont know what I will do. Hes been gone 3 hours and I miss him so much. He said he doesnt think the love he had for me will ever be there again. I dont even know why Im typing this, Im just so confused, so lost..... ↑ |

I dont think u should jump the gun by
saying that he is falling out of love with you. Some men are just naturally self centered
and get married because they want someone to do all the work . I have a husband like that, and i also have a
teenage son. I blame my in-laws for
raising such a self -centered person
who just cant think out of the box. I used
to take it personally, but now i dont care.
i dont love him, i am just in it until
my youngest who is 10 is 18.
hang in there- find freinds and other
outlets for dealing with that type of
personality. good luck ↑ |

| I'm not married but i have lived with my fiance for 4 years and we are only 21 and supposed to be wed next year. Only thing is, he is the perfect man when we go away and when he has time off but all the other times he is so cold and doesnt even want to speak to me, its like living with a ghost. I have asked him why and ended up crying many times and he says he is numb to me crying and shows no compassion, I am so in love and he is the only one in my life that i have ever been able to depend on and now im wondering, as i sit crying again all night while he is sleeping, should i marry him or should i wait longer and make sure we can really last? ↑ |

| I hear ya. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I've been married 9yrs, my hubby is an amazing man. He provides well for us & tells me I'm the only one. But when I express my insecurities about our relationship, I feel like I'm not enough sexually, I too end up feeling worse then if I'd just stayed quiet. I recently found texts, from a female friend, that made me really wander if he's being unfaithful. I confronted him right after I found them. He says she's an old friend that lives in another state, & I was reading too much into somethin innocent. He has since deleted this friend from his contacts. For my benifit of course. Only 3 days later I found yet more texts that seem quite incriminating. No name just a number. Again I confronted him right away. I'd rather know a hard truth then live a lie. He says he has no idea who this person is or what they're talking about. I love my husband like crazy! I even think I could forgive him for one indiscretion. But if he is lying to me. Well that's the part that kills me. Good luck to you my friend be strong. I shall light a candle for you. Will you do the same for me? ↑ |

Yes i do have this problem, Only difference is My Husband of 30 years told me he does not love me and is in love with my sister...So I do know how you feel, He says there has been nothing between them and I find this very hard to believe,He also says she don't even know he loves her..
she is single and lives with a man that is a dead beat and my husband says he feels sorry for her, He gets mad if I say anything negitive about her.She constantly is needing something from him and I finally said no more.I don't know what I'm going to do as of now, he don't want me to leave but I don't know what elese to do.I can't live with someone that don't love me and for sure when he loves someone elese when its my sister!
I can relate to you, When you love someone its hard to walk away no matter what they have done, But sometimes Love just ain't enough.And in my case its not.I wish I hated him and I'm sure I will soon enough...Only thing I am also mad at her even though he says she don't know.I'm thinking of just moving out of town and getting away from them both and trying to rebuild my life.I do wish you the very best of luck and I will be praying for you as well. ↑ |
| Name: Lost in Arizona | Date: Aug 28th, 2010 7:55 PM |
| Yes, I have much the same problem. I wish I had some advice to make you feel better or more secure, but I myself and looking for many of the same answers you are. I have this very strong, almost overwhelming feeling that my husband (we've been married for 25 years) doesn't love me, not in a true sense, anyway, and that he only stays with me because he feels he has an obligation to do so and because leaving would make him look like a bad person. However, much like yourself, I would do anything to make him happy, and have told him several times, flat out, that if he is staying because he feels obligated to and foro no other reason, then he his not doing either of us, or our children, any favors by staying in a relatiohship in which both of us are unhappy. I truly want him to be happy and if that means leaving to be with the woman he really wants to be with, then he should do that. If at some point he learns that she is not really what he had thought or hoped, well, I have to say, it will be too late to come back to me, because I absolutely will not allow myself to be placed back into a hurtful situation again when he returns because the grass wasn't really greener. After all, his return would not be because he truly loved me now more than before, but only because he had nowhere else to go, at least not at the present time. Anyway, I have decided to go to counseling for myself, and while I've asked him several times to go with me, he refused, which is only one of many things that makes me conviced he doesn't care or love me enough to try to make this marriage work or even to make me feel more secure in our relationship. I have gotten to the point where I have seriously considered suicide, believing in my heart that that is the only way I can set him free and allow him to live his life without feeling obligated to me in any way. Hence, my decision to seek counseling. Obviously, this is not normal thinking and I clearly need help in coping and working this out. But I can empathize with all that you are saying and I know how overwhelmingly sad a woman can be living every day believing in her heart that the man she loves doesn't truly love her back. Perhaps you should also speak to a counselor. Maybe you'll have better luck than me, and your husband will actually accompany you and participate in the process of healing your relationship. Mine clearly will not. I wish you happiness and success. ↑ |

| your in a better position than me, i spose after 13 years its easy to forget why that persons so special, but maybe you could try writing a letter, he probably doesnt realise how serious you feel about these thing. me on the other hand, its my second wedding anniversary today, i just dont feel special at all, i convinced myself i was going to just get thru the day, even our first one wasnt good, i cnt even remember it, we probably did nothing... my husband has never bought me anything, its not so much the buying that bother me, its the thoughtfulness...even my birthday went by recently and he did nothing, and said it was just another day, infact i felt stupid for being botherd by it. so now its our 2yr wedding anniversary, i feel like im waiting for him to disapoint me, sometimes i feel relieved that he hasnt botherd because it just confirms he doesnt love me! we are from 2 different cultures....so i dont know if thats the problem, anyways im just going to get through today, 13 years is a long time, so u must be strong, we are barely managing 2 years.... but hes never botherd, says its because of money but i dnt care about that, u can buy flowers for next to nothing, make something. oh well good luck to you, i feel like a failure ↑ |

| I don't know what you should do about your situation because I am in a similar one. My husband just does not care for me. He does not work consistently so he is not a constant contributor to our home. When he does get money, he only buys what we need for the house and the rest of money is for himself. Forget about other things that we would probably want. He is always concerned with number 1. When we go out with my family he is easy to get along withand he doesn't hide his lack of concern for me. My family thinks that he is fun while I am just a pain because I don't engage in gossip about family members. They love him! My birthday passed recently and he didn't even tell me happy birthday even though our son said it. I think he's just pretending along until he gets in a better job position where he is stable then he will move along. This has been going on even before I was pregnant. I really do hope that he gets interested in someone else and becomes their burden. I can't deal with him anymore. I even think that he has cheated on me a couple of times. This has been going on for eight long years. I just want it to be over. My only consolation is my children ↑ |

| I've been feeling the same way lately about my husband-he is increasingly critical and negative about everything I do. I've been wandering around in shell shock the last few days as the reality of what is happening to us is setting in. We have 2 children together, the youngest is 5 months old. I work full time as does he but it's my job to do the laundry, keep up with the bills, clean the house (which is rather large) etc. There is no hired help except for the yard crew that does "his chores". He makes more than twice what I do but we have separate accounts and the ratio at which we split bills is not relative to who makes what more 50/50 split but yet I'm on the hook for all the groceries (for a family of 5) including diapers and formula. So I am by no means spoiled financially yet he accuses me of taking advantage of him in that way. Yesterday he got angry and in the process of our argument called me lazy and basically said my contribution to this family was of no real value. I have 3 children to tend to in addition to a job that keeps me away from home for 60 hrs per week and I rarely sit down except when feedng the baby-I'm so angry with what he said and how he perceives me as a wife and mother. If he loved me how could he say that? It's not the first time and I'm sure not the last. I really am scared of what lies ahead. ↑ |

| My husband has been acting different lately and when I finally confronted him about his odd behavior, he told me he still loved and cared for me, but isn't in love with me. I am devastated. I have spiraled into a depression and can't seem to get a grip on it. I love him so much and this is killing me and he knows it, but yet I don't see him trying to work on our relationship. I am not sure if it over,... we have been married 11 1/12 years now. I am a total loss and am paralyzed. If something doesn't improve soon,... I am not sure what I will do,... ↑ |

| I'm actually in the same boat! Hurting really badly these days. My husband and I have been married for over 13 years and he is very noncommunicative towards me. He will come home from work say hello and lock himself in the bedroom to either nap or watch t.v in there. This past summer he had an emotional affair with his ex and I found pictures of her vagina on his cellphone! He admitted he was wrong and promised not to communicate with her anymore however just recently I found a text message from her with a cartoon pic she emailed to him! I feel like I am living with a stranger. I just don't know him anymore. We are going to our first marriage counseling meeting this Saturday but I tell you this needs to be the last straw. I am so emotionally hurt. ↑ |
