Today I am thinking more and more of ending this. I am so tired. It hurts me to be ignored. It hurts me that my husband prefers not to talk to me, not to look at me, doesn't like touching me or sleeping with me, has no interest in my life and doesn't want to hear anything about mine. But those are the facts.

Why am I tolerating this? Why am I supporting his every need, financing his hobbies, putting a roof over his head? Why am I doing that for someone who is communicating how little I mean to him?

And how can he have so little integrity and so much emotional cowardice that he's happy with that situation? If he doesn't want me, why doesn't he just leave?
