Nopkins - thanks for your advice but it's not really that helpful. If I thought it was that easy to just get a divorce I wouldn't be here. Yes maybe I should have thought more about the future repercussions before I got married but the fact is I was deeply in love with him and I thought that was enough. I did not expect him to change but I thought our SL problems were due to current work circumstances and that when they got better so would we. But you can't turn back time and as we now we have a child I have more than just my needs to consider. Also, he is a wonderful father and a good man so i have no intentions of taking him to the cleaners financially.

I just want to hear some positive stories of others who have been in my situation and have found a way to both be happy. I am hoping desperately there are those stories out there.

Heywyre -thanks for posting. I have read some of your posts but need to read more to decide if my H has this complex. I guess it doesn't matter what you call it, I just want to find a way to fix it!

Any more advice from those in my situation would be much appreciated.
