I'd like to think that our marriage problems are about money, but it's really that my husband thinks only of himself.

A female United States age , anonymous writes:

my husband and i are having marriage problems. we have been married for 23 years. we are going through some financial problems, and i would like to think that is the problem, but the real problem is that my husband thinks only of himself. we borrowed some money from his brother and his brother and sister inlaw really lashed out at the two of us for not being smarter with our money. During the lashing out it was almost like an intervention, all kinds of things came out about how mean my husband can be and that kind of behavior is unexceptable, toward me and our two girls. my husband walked out of the room and we have not spoken to each other in 15 days he told the girls he wants a divorce and they are never to speak to their aunt and uncle again that they are horrible people. As long as he has them he feels as though he does not need anyone else. we can't divorce right now because we have no money, and can't sell out house. i have spent 23 years with this man doing everything he asked. i have never even had a job, he is 15 years older than me. what am i going to do now.

thatgothgirl20 agony auntTake things day by day. Take problems as they come. Are there any family members that you can stay with? Like your mom? Maybe you can go to college. The government pays money to people to go to school. Maybe a relative can drive you there daily. Whatever you do, do something with your life. Your life has not ended because you have lost this man, even though it probably feels that way.
