I, too, have had a painful marriage. We just had our 23rd anniversary. It has gotten much better over the years, though. I think it is primarily b/c I stopped depending on him to change, and just got as healthy as I possibly could by myself with my own therapy and meds. Ironically, this inspired him to change. We still have a long way to go, but at least we're good friends now, and I enjoy his company, which I didn't used to.
I'm sorry this is so painful, I know it is, and it's the main reason for most of my depression. But you have the power to make it better by making you better.
With love,
Beauty
