I am unhappily married. I have been unhappy almost the entire marriage. I honestly stay, because I cannot afford to pay all the bills in my name by myself. I think my husband purposefully gets more bills in my name to get me to stay.
There is no romance. We do not kiss or hug or anything more than that, and we haven’t done so in a long time. I’m honestly not even interested in it anymore. It’s hard to want someone who makes you feel unwanted.
I make an effort to look good any time I leave my house. He is the only person in my life who never gives me a compliment, only criticisms. “You could stand to miss a few meals.” “You can’t eat what I eat.” “When are you going to work out?” “What’s going on with your makeup? You look ridiculous.” On and on.
He drops me off at work every day, even if I’m only working a few hours. It drives me crazy. The car is in my name, but I rarely get to go anywhere by myself. Of course, I always have to let him go to work by himself, even if it means I have to ask a co-worker for a ride or sit at home all day. Any time I close, I have to ride hone with a co-worker. Any time he has picked me up at close, he has started a fight. He gets mad if he has to wait five minutes for me to come out. Yet, when I did get to drop him off at work, he would tell me I needed to be there at a certain time, and I would end up waiting 30 minutes for him. And he would constantly call me to bring him stuff. When I’m at work and try to call him, no answer. So, I’m pretty sure he’s cheating on me. He feels like I don’t need to know where he goes, what he does, or what he spends his money on, but I’m supposed to answer to him. I’m over it. Something has got to change.
