Your post rings true for me, I have daily issues with being belittled and shown no respect at home, yet am expected to pay all the bills(this part is fine !), rest of the time am better off outside the house but have to set boundaries and keep to them, I feel down regularly due to intense negativity and rejection.
I think divorce is inevitable, only we have two children doing important exams in June and separation would unbalance them at this critical point, hence why am hanging on.
"Marriage" is sexless, mentally abusive and not conducive to growth, am 49 years old and the clock is ticking if I want to restart my life.
Writing in is helping me clear my mind and would appreciate comments from members of the forum.
