    There support out there. Housing assistance (home) pay ur rent. Foodstamps ( to feed ur self and kids) and the worksource (for a job placement, school and daycare) get on feet. You CAN DO IT!! we don't need a men now this days. At least not MEN like that!!!!

    I recently heard that "All good things come to an end." But i believe relationships are different because they break u from inside, when they end. We expect a lot from life itself, that it would always be thrilling and adventurous. When we say we are different, then is the time we realize the needs, nature and character of the other person. And it would happen every time a relationship starts, because two persons cannot be alike.

    The biggest problem is that the same mistakes are committed from both ends thus making the relationship more vulnerable. We start trying to hide our emotions and communicate even less.



    I will request to all of u to put in more efforts and communicate as much as possible, rather than putting more effort in finding a substitute. Please don't give up on someone if u really love them.

    feduptoronto and any others. You can still go to the womens shelters and get some INFORMATION. Find out what your options are. Unless you find out what they are you don't have any. Just because you can't think of any way to make things work doesn't mean they don't know of any!!! This is what they do. Let them do what they do best, answer questions and give advice. For some of you it will at least give you something to do.



    Think about it, this is a lot like bitching your hands are dirty and never sticking them under the water faucet. There may be things you can do to set yourself up so you can leave or do something about it. Find out what the rules of disengagement are.

    I too am going through this same thing... I met my husband in high school at age 13... he was 14...

    we dated on and off in high school and eventually married him 8 years later... In the beginning we had problems due to his family...they are very overbearing and like to stick their noses into everyone's business... it didn't help that my husband would tell them everything and anything about our marriage and all of our fights which added to the problems in the first place....



    Now 13 years later I'm married with 3 kids... he works and I stay at home...so of course I'm bored out of my mind all day just doing housework, cooking.. taking care of him, the kids and my home and not even any appreciation or affection comes my way...



    You would think after all this time my husband would know me... my likes my dislikes everything... but any kind of occasion like Christmas, our anniversary etc etc he buys me crap... it's never anything that I've pointed out or hinted to all through the year... this year he didn't even want to take the kids out to buy something for me... and now he's withholding sex.... it's like I'm being punished... but when he wants sex.... he has to have it... and then after just goes to sleep...



    I've tried talking to him... and he says he's tired of talking to me... He's walked out on me several times during arguments... only to come back and go to bed...



    I have no job... no savings... no nothing... just 3 beautiful children.... and on top of that I have no one to talk to... no support system what so ever... I feel so alone... I've known him for half my life... and he says he doesn't want a divorce... what can I do... I don't know whether to leave or stay...

      Though I am employed I feel the same way as you described. I have started reading this forum because I am unhappy and I have started blogging about my unhappiness (anonymous of course). I have over developed ways to deal with my unhappiness though I don't recommend taking the approach I have taken.

      I think the first thing is to recognize your own unhappiness, then start being proactive in taking care of yourself.

    Yes but for many they can. I know the longer you are in a relationship the more entangled you get in the whole home life building thing. Credit, jobs, bills and the nightmare goes on. Cut your losses as soon as you can. I know in some cases a rebuild would be better.

    Things aren't always as easy as walking out the door. I have small children and with house and two mortgages. Without my spouse I cant afford to pay all the bills I owe. If I leave things will fall apart. Things wont get paid and both our credit could be ruined.

    Ladies, there are shelters, USE THEM!!! I read many times where she just wants out. There are no mens shelters only womens. Women have more options than men do and yet is it easier to ***** about how bad it is or just get up and walk out the damn door and don't let it hit you in the *** on the way out. When he is gone to work or someplace leave then. Leave a note if you wish but leave.



    Take care of yourself first!!! Life is supposed to be fun. If not, change your life. Only you can do this. What are you waiting for, a White Knight to come rescue you? The Knightmare you are with didn't, don't expect one out of the wood work. Yes ladies this is a verbal slap in the face or a verbal bucket of water in the face. Get up and get going no later than tomorrow morning. NOW GO!!!



    Yes I do care, it is just now your turn to do the same for you.

    As niteowl said its your choice, that puts you in charge of the situation not others messing with your life. Make a plan and keep to it, hugs,I hope every thing turns out ok

    If you say you can't leave you can't leave. If you say you can leave you can leave. Either way you are right. It is your choice. It always has been and it always will be your choice. From the sound of things I hope you don't need a quarter to flip to help you make a new decision.

    I am 28 years old...wanna hear something sad..I have only been married less than 4 months and I want out! I have been with him almost 8 years. We never talk, never have sex, and I am not in love with him. It is humiliating and overwhelming to think about starting over.

    I feel sad and relieved at the same time hearing your story. I'm never like hearing about other woman going through relationship like that but for the first time I don't feel as alone knowing that other woman are in the same boat as I am. It just gives me more hope than what I had before..
