Heres the story of my husband and me--I got pregnant with my first daughter at 20. I was still going to school and lived at home with my dad who was my best friend. I had to tell him I was pregnant and within a hour of telling him, be had me in church in front of the priest confessing my sins and insisting I'm married ASAP cuz no daughter of his would be having a baby out of wedlock. He was very strict Polish-Catholic. Had me married in a week. His whole family never came to wedding because my mother in law said I need a abortion and didn't want to know the "gold digging slut). I knew I loved bill but as a great friend. I could never find that love that I hoped I could. So I went through the wifely motions. Never accepted from them until recently they're warming up. My dad felt horrible through the years and offered to help me pay for a divorce. He saw I couldn't love my husband. My husband has hardly any sex drive and is honestly the coldest person in bed. He never "went down" and I would ask him to try and he won't. He barely touches me. Like I have thorns on me. I continued to be a good mother and even have another daughter 4 yrs later. I love my girls with all my heart and have a wonderful relationship with them. Just now I have the dark side I began years ago. I craved attention and wanted to be "wanted". My husband started "online relationships" I saw he'd send body part pics to women and say "show me your feet" (yup foot feet) or my wife didn't give me any-are you online?? That was years ago when things went through email mainly. I stumbled upon those emails. He never initiates sex honestly and at this point can care less. I should divorce him but I hold on for kids. I know that's wrong thing to do. Just hate to throw their comfy life off. So the double life comes In. I really would love a real loving relationship. I'm always looking for passion as my name says. I tattooed passion on my leg. Means someday I'm hoping I'll find it. Most guy Ive been with I'd ask them to "make love to me". Always want it passionate. Unfortunately alot of times I just want sex like a human being and have to go elsewhere. My pdoc and T have both met my husband. Both say we are very wrong for each other and they feel his coldness. They were amazed by how cold he is. My friends know he is too. My life has spun out Of control way too many times from my head just being so depressed and exhausted from this life. Really would live to go start
Fresh someplace else. This isn't a pity story--just points out how I've tried for years to accept my marriage and do things right.

Im so sorry you have to go through this. Everyone should feel loved, wanted, needed, in their marriages. It seems you feel none of these in yours. No wonder you search outside of your marriage. At first when I read your first post I thought you were just on a manic episode now I think its just you are seeking what every woman needs in life a real man. It seems this man does not support any of your needs and that is not a healthy relationship. Seems as though his online relationships are more important than supporting then needs of his own wife. Im sorry but I do not blame you, I would say its time to end the marriage. Find yourself a real man that will support your needs. Someone who can make you and your children happy, because Im sure the children know the marriage is not right. Children are much smarter than you know.

just read the rest of the rest of the post, the children are grown. Its time to take your life in your own hands. Its time to live this life for yourself. You have raised your children, you were a good mother and held your marriage together for your children through their childhood and now they are grown. Its time for you to be happy. It is time for you to feel needed wanted and everything you have not felt in this loveless marriage. I can not imagine not feeling these things. When my husband and I have our rough patches I throw a fit because I have to feel it, I have to know I am needed and wanted and desired. If I dont feel it from him there is always others out there trying to show it you know what I mean. Not that I want that but its always there. I just always demand my attention and affection. Its a requirement in a realationship. I just feel like you can say I love you all day long but not feel it without being touched. Even if its just a little hug or holding hands or snuggling on the couch. Doesnt have to be sexual. But then again sexual contact is pretty important too. Even though later in marriages it doesnt come as often it should still exist. Im just trying to say its time to take your life in your own hands and start living your life for you. Make you happy and your kids will be happy for you. It may be strange in the beginning for everyone because change is always strange but change can be a very good exciting step in life too.

Thank you tree higher :-). I'm sorry you went through all you did. We just learn and learn everyday. My husband and I had a huge argument tonight because I spilled my feelings. He got upset and shoved it to the side eventually. Too much to write but I'm at a stand still and need to make up this darn mind

I usually have so much trouble making up my mind too
Biggest problem for me is when it's somehting that can affect the kids.

Bless your heart.

I'm fascinated by reading these things. It's the way people word it. I want to turn my eyes away, but I can't.

It's kind of depressing that you've both stolen years of each other's lives the way you have. People staying in a loveless relationship for years and they have the balls to call ME crazy.

Passion, I can understand what you are going through. I am going through some of it too. I haven't cheated, but I do crave that closeness and wanting to be wanted. I make myself feel better by looking at apartments online, and dreaming of a life where it is just me and my sons. I am on disability, and would never make it on my own. We are trying to work on it in therapy. There is maybe a shred of something there that we might be able to save. At the very least I want to make it work while the kids are young. (10 and 5).

I think you are at the cusp of finding your own life, but first I would set up the supports you will need so that you don't spin into an episode. You have my support.
