Don't Know what to Say.

I guess this is my cry for help... I am on the verge of a breakdown.. I feel like a complete and total failure... I try my very hardest to make my marriage work, but to no avail... I am so alone and miserable. He's a good guy, but the marriage is not a partnership at all, we do everything seperately. We both have made mistakes, and it seems liek I forgive him and move on, but he still holds onto everything. And I've tried talking, I just get one word answers, and I have offered counseling, but with his refusal. Idk waht to do... I'm so scared of breaking down, and I feel really selfish.

Some marriages arent ment to be.if he doesnt wanna work on it. . perhaps its time to call a spade a spade? ask him what he wants to do?

I hate to say it, but maybe it's time to move on. Sometimes parents make a better team when they aren't together. My daughter's father and I are like that. When we were together we didn't agree on anything. Now that we are apart we can talk and work things out when it comes to our child.

I'm sorry that you're going through this. This will sound dumb, but I listen to a psychotherapist every night on a radio station, and she specializes in relationships...and I've heard her say a thousand times that a marriage is a two way street...if you need counseling, and are willing to go to it, that's all you can do. If he's not willing, then you can't fix what's going wrong.

I have been there but DH is getting better so I am getting to my happy place slowly but surely. How long have you been married?

Sometimes when we focus on changing ourselves, for us other start to change too! All you  can so is go to counseling yourself, improve who you are and become the woman you want to be in life. Don't let anyone hold you back from that. He'll either be next to you through these changes, or on his own side of the road. Then you'll next to re-exam your relationship and go from there.

Get some counseling now before you lose it. You need to speak with someone who'll have another perspective on things, someone who's a professional. ((hugs))

Yes dear, you have every right to be pissed. That man has no respect for woman speaking in that manner and that would be one friend I would not want my husband having. He would never be allowed in my home, for sure!
