He works swing shift 4pm to 2am. I work "business hours" 9-5. So, there is rarely time to talk between our sleep schedules and work. Except for his days off. This week, he picked up overtime during 2 of his days off, and was MIA on another one (out with a girl?).

All far as not having equity. Our house increased in value by $100,000 2 years after we bought it. With the way to market is today, we could probably sell it for what we currently owe on it.

Do I want to work on the marriage? That's so tough. I don't want a divorce. I don't want to hurt the kids anymore. I don't want to have to move. But, I don't KNOW this man that's my husband. He's very mean, and (I don't say this lightly) verbally abusive to me.
IF things could be different, I'd bend over backwards to work on the marriage. His idea of working on the marriage is for me to admit what a horrible wife I've been, completely change into the "Stepford wife" that he wants and back up his crazy ideas. IF I had a crystal ball to tell me WHO my husband is going to be a year from now, it would be a heck of a lot easier!

I don't know if that answers your questions.
