To reptileinyourhead: I don’t have options. It’s just waiting out our lives, hoping I outlive him. I am trying to focus on myself, get healthy and in shape. I do not have a problem cheating on him at this point, if I were ever to become desirable again. We have not been intimate for a long time. I don’t care if he cheats either. God help any woman who ever gets involved with him. The other day he actually did the dishes- I could not believe it. I was so happy - I gave him the biggest hardest sexiest kiss I could - fogged up his glasses. He still went to sleep in his lair, with the dog…I can do nothing to get him to desire me anymore, I am certain.

Hi- original poster here. Mother’s Day 2025. Actually every Mothers Day is the worst day of every year for me. Nothing special is done for me. Regular Sunday. I do my food shopping. I bought myself flowers, made my own breakfast and coffee. Had to wash ALL the dirty dishes in the sink that husband created when he made himself eggs for breakfast! I swear if it wasn’t for these anti-depressants I would be crying 24/7. I have been the 99% parent to our special needs medically complicated child for almost 20 years. I guess I shouldn’t be seeking appreciation and should do it for the love of my child, but it would be nice to have some positive re-enforcement-some some token or act of appreciation. It never happens. My friends say I allow him to be this way. What do they want me to do, hold a —-to his head? I am not one who is good at manipulating, and even when I try, it does not work. The downward spiral continues.
Hugs from:

Thing is....there is no point in seeking appreciation when you KNOW you aren't going to get it. That just makes you more misersble than you already are.

They say doing the same thing the same way & expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Maybe it is time to start looking for different actions & the different results that come from energy put in that direction.

Have you ever talked to a good divorce lawyer to see what all your options really are & what financial responsibilities the court would place on him in a divorce?

I get the feeling trapped but at the same time I didn't like my situation, there was no point fighting it until I could get out cause fighting it destroyed my own mental & physical health. They won't change because it is who they are just as much as you are who you are

I am so sorry. It’s awful.

But honestly since he is useless anyways and doesn’t help you and you have to do everything for him, it might be easier without him.

He’ll be ordered to pay alimony and with disabled child he’d be paying support. Half of the house is yours as half of whatever retirement he might have.

I’d talk to a lawyer. You might be better off without him in all aspects.
Thanks for this!
