I just wish he would have saved me the 4 years of agony...and told me sooner. Before i invested every last emotion into him...before i loved him....before i wanted so much for him to love me back..but he didn't...and Men rarely change..and if your willing to spend the rest of your like in a loveless...empty marriage for whatever reason..i mean..things never will. Thats just how i feel BNL's...you deserve better...much better and i hope one day...you will be enough for your happiness...and find a healthier relationship where you can be treated like a princess...like you deserve.
If I didn't have children, I would probably move on. My oldest has already gone through a divorce and although he was just a baby, he still lives with not being able to see his dad more than every other weekend, an occassional week's vacation and once a week for dinner. I can't put him through having to split time between his dad, stepdad and me.

My youngest is old enough to be really upset about it, especially since he is all about daddy.

I guess I have to accept that I will be with this man at least until my kids are grown, which puts me in my 50's. So, I have a chance of getting some affection in about 18 years.
