Trouble is she doesn't recognize this.

Trouble is I don't think I want to sign up for more of sharing my life with someone who is always a victim of other people

Real or imagined, It is her reality and I have to pretend there are monsters under the bed with her.

Calm her fears like a little child.

I want children I just don't want to be married to one.

She tells me I treat her like a child.

Her words and actions tell me she considers a M to be Carte Blanche to do whatever you want and I am just supposed to accept it.

That is not healthy for me. Because I don't feel that way.


You've known all of this for a while, this isn't anything new. There seems to be an awful lot of focus on her and what is lacking.

So when do I leave this empty place?


It sort of sounds like you're looking for that defining "I'm done" moment. It may never happen that way. Didn't for me.

It came with time. It came when I stop looking to label or define it and just lived life.

What is this "empty place" you speak of any way? Sh!t.... Where is this empty place? Why is it empty?

Would having your wife or another woman around make it "unempty?"

Don't stand still.
