I love my husband dearly and I have Bern fighting for my marriage but I can't do it alone I have asked for counseling but he says he will but never go. I had an emotion break down due to all this it gave me anxiety Im better now but I was messed up for the last 6 months depressed in bed which I got no support just encored and told to snap out of it! I do eating thing for I'm good to him everytime we get in a fight he always plays the divorce card or you can leave never can we talk it out he just goes silent he knows I don't want to leave so he plays the threat game.. I at my whits end trying to figure him out and what the problem is I'm in Counseling my self..

I have been off for a year he asked me for the whole year to get to get a job or go to school or both and I didn't I was going threw an emotional break down due to stress in the marriage. Now I enroll in school he says look how long it took you so 3 days before the kids arrive he turned on me he didn't want me at the airport.. His ex wife has been a real pain she was mad that he remarried when he said the kids were coming after not seeing them for 5 years, I knew she was up to something. He was outside having conversations with her behind my back telling about our marriage he did not tell me anything about when the kids were coming he was on the phone sharing his happiness with everyone but me and i'm the one who was fighting for almost 2 years! He said he did not know if he wanted the marriage the age diffrence I never worked in a year exuses.. When the kids came he became even more cold distant did not where his wedding ring.. The whole time the kids were here he never invited me out with them he lefted me home while they went shopping every day and to dinner he took all the money which he hid and blew $6000 and gave me $400 to get my hair done and complained about that for 4 days..The kids were respectful but sneaky playing double agent for there mother..He isolated me from the family he did not hold real conversations with me very stand offish I would call him by his nick name he would not answer in front of the kids he was on the phone with the mother every day laughing and talking I even over heard him tell her that he told me it was over and all he wants is his kids now. This is the same evil woman that the whole family talks about she just cussed you out now shes a saint!

She called here asking how im I treating them he said she don't have any other choice but to act right this is my house! It was so akward for those 2 weeks mind you slept me every night and sex with me but around the kids he was and ASS! He just got like this from one day to the next i'm so hurt I don't know what to do I'm in so much pain that my husband would turn on me like that! Now there gone and he said he refuses to be used again he wants to be alone if his ex wife wont take him back. He said I did not work or go to school all I want to is a free ride and I want to get pregnant and use the baby as a excuse not to work and I don't love him I just love the free ride then the age difference.. I have begged him to save this marriage I don't want a divorce he promised me that we did not get married to get a divorce.. I have not wronged this man in any way just loved him yeah I nagged about the porn and I was jealous and didn't do the school or work thing did I push the bible and religon on him because I was changing and he was not ready but I love him and I had no evil intentions for this marriage just good things.. I broke down crying last night while we were talking he can barely look me in the face I was cry histrically and asking him why me!I have done nothing but love you why! He finally said he has to go work at 4am he goes in the extra bedroom and locks the door and I knock until he opens it and I said what do think i'm going to kill you he said as emotional as I im maybe I asked him to sleep with me he was sleeping with me while the kids were then now you want to stop,the very thought of my husband leaving makes me sick I love him so much why would a man change like that he said he was giving me chances.. My god mom say he asked you to get a job and go to school for a year and you didnt do he is at the age where he does not want to make the same mistakes and he does not want to take care of an able body women that's turn off and he has done that for every women in his life,She said it get a job things will change and that he is playing a game and he wants you to chase him.. What makes a man turn like this? Is it me? I it the ex wife? He says it's him!Is he going threw a midlife crisis after he seen the kids and he realized all the wrong he done and his dad and him cleared the air after the dad was never really close to him and his brothers all there life.. He told his dad he was not happy I said you never told me that!His dad said do what makes you happy what is that being with a crazy ex wife that really just wants the money the kids are 17 and 16 both turning 16 and 18 in March and april you can not relive what you messed up..I think he is so caught up in emotion he is not thinking.. He said I have 7 months until the lease is up to get it togeter.. I'm desperate to save my marriage is there still time?

Anonymous_Chick agony auntThis is a very hard situation if only I would have known.. I made some mistakes in the marriage but it's not that serious to me but maybe it's serious to him.. It just saddens me that my husband would do that.

angelDlite agony aunti have been married and similar to you, i married him before i had gotten to know him well enough and when i did get to know him i didn't like what i saw!

good luck, i hope you can either resolve the problems, learn to live with them or find the courage to leave. may be that's an unhelpful answer, but i think they are the only 3 choices you've got

angelDlite agony aunthi

you say you love him. what qualities does he have that you love? coz all you have wrote here is his bad points. there are so many things that you don't like about him, are you REALLY expecting him to change? and if you truly love him like yo say you do you would not WANT him to change! i suggest that you write all his good points and bad points down like so

good points bad points

1 1

2 2

3 3

and so on.. coz your thoughts about him seem very jumbled and i think this will help you to concentrate on how you feel. look, he is 49 now and if he still doesn't know how to treat a woman, i guess he never will. do you need him financially? is that part of why you stay? it seems as if he would rather you left (from what you have told us) if you do go, you will get over him. the time it will take for you to

get over him will (i think its sensible to say) be less than remaining with someone and feeling miserable year after year. you did get married too quick, and its turned out that when you got to know each other you didn't like each other
