my first responce is OMG...is he suicidal?
i know what it is to feel like you are a single mom raising your children when you have a husband that isn't helping...but, when he isn't there...it will be worse! trust me, i know.
unfortunately, i can recommend "the proper care and feeding of husband" by laura slessinger...
"unfortunately" because i know all the reasons to rebell against that thought when you feel the way that you have written that you do.
however, if you can recognize the empowerment that the book gives you, it MAY help.
i know that you are hurting and that you are lonely and feeling so low...but, you have to be the strong woman that i have read about...you ARE capable of saving this marriage...your life AND of being happy, hon. *hugs*
and, if a man is not willing to go to a therapist...you can force his body to be there...but, not is attitude or mind.
good luck.
I just HAD to respond to Michelle E.
HAHAHAHAHA
yep, i remember those feelings...not those words...but, yep, those feelings. I, too, was a career woman. I worked for over 30 years and worked my way up (full time) mind you to management and to various careers in retail/technology and office work. However, i AM now a SAHM...
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and wore it out!
i raised two children while working full time and i'm TRYING to raise one, now, while being home full time. Both are a challenge...both have times i want to pull my hair out.
Don't be too quick to judge what you don't know...and realize that you DON'T know very much! *evil grin*
