Mandozilla53,

I'm sorry for your plight.

My husband and I have been married for 36 years. There have been marginal improvements in my husband's ability to express love and concern for me over that time, but nothing to write home about. He is basically selfish and self-centered.

Financially it has always been more favorable to stay together.

I don't know what to tell you, but I just wanted you to know I empaphize.

With these crazy economic times, I have heard more people are staying under the same rooves just to financially survive.

Best wishes,

EJ
