I have heard it all Gwen, that it was society's fault, my fault, his mother's fault - you name it. It was everyone else's fault but his and it sounds like your H is doing the same thing
Then what do I do? I swear I think my H wants to change, but he can't. I see his struggle - I really do. But in the meantime, I'm miserable and I don't know what to do. Really, really, really folks, please be brutally honest - with the information that you all have, do I have anything in this marriage to save? Should I continue or am I setting myself up again. I'm 49 and I don't want to waste anymore of my time in an unhealthy relationship. Yet, I love him, we have fun, great companionship, etc. I'm torn in two.
