Staying married may have long-term benefits. You can elicit much more sympathy from friends over a bad marriage than you ever can from a good divorce. - P. J. O'Rourke

  • alone Hi I am new here. I really need to speak with someone. I am married 22 yrs with a little 2 yr old girl. Ive been married for a year and known him for 5yrs. Well I married for the wrong reasons. He was my first and obviously i was not but thats not the point. I liked the affection he gave me but i never really found our connection to be strong it was mostly sexual and i thought that was enough. i never fell in love with him and i don't know if that even exists. i can't really say i loved him but he grew very attached to me and i know he loves me. But i never found him interesting or admiring he has a high temper. i have tried leaving him because i feel he needs to find someone who loves him for how he is, but he gets very loud and dramatic and starts throwing things and says mean things that i just drop it. he can be very sweet and caring but i feel bad that I've never truly been attracted or loved him that i feel I'm empty inside in our marriage. i married him because we had a daughter and thats why i moved in with him, if i wasn't pregnant i would not have moved in with him. he is not a bad man but i can't say he is a great man neither. he has been faithful and tries his best at work. that is why i don't leave him because i think its hard to find a faithful man and someone who is not lazy. but i wonder if this is enough for me to be happy with him. i don't know what to do i feel like this is eating me alive. I've tried to be happy with him try to act like I'm very happy when i see him be very sweet and loving but then i get tired of acting that way and feel envious of people who say they truly love their partner in bad and good times and i can't feel that way. I've always wanted a good marriage to feel happy even though i know their is bad times but never regret to being married. i don't know if that even exists and i feel like a bad person sometimes because he says i am ungrateful and that i should be happy that he wants to be with me. 7 years ago   *   3 replies
    • Corazon i hear you, I feel so sad when I hear people say I love you to their other halves and really mean it or want it to mean something, I feel nothing but care for my husband, no love. I hesitate to offer advice as I m here just from today and am looking for guidance myself, but I d say, be strong, if it isnt right then arent you better off without the sadness the relationship brings? my other half is like yours, nice enough but has a lot of negative comments, mistrust, jealousy. I m only here for the kids 7 years ago
      • alone Thanks for replying, yeah i feel what you mean, its really sad hopefully one day we could find the guidance we need . I don't know where i am headed i just hope with time i make the best decision . 7 years ago
        • yogabum I'm in the same exact boat. Staying for my child but it's not easy and eventually you will have had enough. You'll know when it's time to go. I've been trying for many years and I've gotten to the point where I don't feel anything anymore. The time is very near for me...had it!!!! 7 years ago
