I Think My Marriage Is Over

How Long Do You Wait?

By: AnnaLeonette
Written on February 4th, 2013
I have been married for five years. My husband has not worked at all for the last three. He worked only part time the second year we were married. He pays no bills and our house is not very clean. He hoards toys and spends all day re-painting hot wheel cars. I come home for lunch and find him still in the bed at noon. It will be my third divorce, my second husband revealed to me he was bi-sexual and unfaithful in the 5th year of our marriage and my first divorce was over 20 years ago. Still I don't want to be a 3 time loser so I stay in this one. I am so unhappy, I cannot believe I messed up again.

    It can be quite demoralising for a man to be out of work and feeling he is not supporting his family like a man should do and it can lead to this sort of behaviour. It's not happened to me but I've seen it happen to others. He needs a good kick up the rear to get him out of this. I know if I was just bumming around at home like that my wife would get up early one morning, make me a packed lunch, and tell me to get out and don't come back until I found a job.
    Anyway, there's no point in wasting the rest of your life like that, you'd be better off on your own. So either give him the kick up the backside he needs or kick him out altogether.
    Let us know how you get one!
