    Yes - but what if you’ve done everything to be attentive to your spouse? Kept the yards clean. Kept the cars running. House clean. Helped with her work projects. Supported her career. Participated with activities and went out for fun occasions. Asked about her life, job, etc. And still treated with contempt, belittled, ignored sexually, etc. You can only try for so many years before being the best you can be before all the negativity drives you to become someone you never wanted to be.

Treated me like a child, found things I did 'unacceptable' etc. She went through all the motions of moving on (but still lived with me). Then one day, I found someone else. She freaked. Not because of what happened but - as she said - I beat her to it. Ha Ha. The she groveled, telling me it could work, etc. Sorry. That boat sailed and she hounded me for two years, and finally married someone else.

      @@MarriageHelper yeah I'm not really interested in fixing it honestly. I don't want to persuade anyone to be with me or to want to be intimate with me. I will not chase or fix or ask anyone to change. There is no try, there is just do. I'm far happier in solitude overall, as I'm stable and confident in my life.

    The worldly and human part of of me says split. The Godly part of me says, Got to Him with my issue and believe . So I listen to God and try to be patient. Suck it up as they say Don't make it easy . But divorcing . Seems so cold. And We did promise ourselves Before God and man. Women can be a challenge. But breaking that promise to God puts a different answer than most I see.

      For men, it’s a extremely unfair. You see, women are brainwashed into wanting a TRADITIONAL man, but refuse the idea of being a traditional wife (cook and clean!!!) like no women do anymore. Remember our grandmothers?! Mine cooked and cleaned and was the strongest and smartest women I ever met.

    My husband wants to keep going to the church where a woman goes whom he had an emotional affair with. It’s over, but my body doesn’t say it’s over and it feels like it’s killing me. I’m going to a different church, but just knowing that they’re there in that very small church together feels so many ways- unsafe, humiliating, cruel. It breaks my heart every Sunday and I just feel gutted and have to recover throughout the week. I can’t make him understand how it’s at very least just a biological response I’m having. He thinks I’m just making a mountain out of a mole hill. I think he is undiagnosed autistic, so there’s that added mind blindness. The church is very sweet and very naïve and they take his side, and I feel like I have no one who understands. I’m crushed.

    My husband works long hours and the night shift. He sleeps during the day. Has split days off. I’m disabled so I’m home all day and all night. He never has time for me. I try calling him at night because he’s on the road. He never wants to talk to me. I found out he was “chatting” with hundreds of women. All night long. He swore I was crazy accusing him of doing anything while he was work. The lies were so many and so big for so long. Now he swears he loves me. He swears he’s stopped “chatting” I’ve not found any evidence of it but I don’t know if he’s just better at hiding it. He was better for a while nothing lasts, I feel like he has to try really hard to be nice to me. Should I leave?

      So sorry!!! We believe there is always hope. Are you separated from your spouse or in the process of divorce? If so, it's not too late. And even if divorce has happened, it's not too late. You'd be surprised how many marriages we have seen restored even after a crisis and years of deceit. There is ALWAYS hope.

    Hi there … sorry for my really despairing attitude … I worked on myself for years ( I have carried and still do carry childhood traumas and disempowering believes to some degree) … what happened when you do and the communication itself or day to day mundane working on relationship is total no no for my spouse … talk of any kind not just deep relationship or about feelings ends up by defensive fight, name calling, undermining and telling me I have issues and have to deal with them by myself … what then … by now I gave up, disconnected and stopped trying, I work on myself just as I always had ( brings me more joy than anything and keeps my brain occupied) … but am I wrong there needs to be effective, kind and respectful communication line between partners?

    I feel that while self improvement is always beneficial, but this doesn’t take into account that you maybe abandoned to raise two children on your own, that your exhausted because you never have breaks or support. This does not cover, how to be engaging in three words or less before your cut off being told that nothing you say is worth hearing. It does not take into account that The woman already knows so much more about thousands of different topics than he will ever bother with, what if she already outstrips him in skills a hundred to one, what if she has hundreds of interests to his one. It doesn’t take into account anything with him at all. What if it’s the man who is rejecting is mentally fucked up in someway. Why isn’t his past abuse, his pst rejections and male thin skin issues. Maybe the woman is amazing and gets offers all the time and the man just wants to work and play computer games, what if he is week and runs from his feelings and won’t deal with being molested as a child so he has intimacy issues and he hurts the woman and insults her over and over again to get her to back off because he is frightened of his own memories. Ladies, men and everyone else. Improve your self esteem because it’s getting torn down, make as much of a life outside the relationship to help keep your balance, but don’t go about making yourself more appealing for another person, that’s demeaning to you. I am not a big victim blaming and that’s what I am hearing, he doesn’t think you are good enough and the therapist agrees she says you are not and need to work on it, I say you are just fine the way you are, you are enough, you need support from rejection you are not the cause of it. Men are not the perfect high and mighty and women do not need to change themselves to please a rejecting partner. Leaving, is bliss, do not wait as long as I did. He is not enough not you. He needs to do work not you. Save yourself, lift yourself up if he’s going to float up with you then yay. But men don’t change unless they want to so do the mental work, but don’t expect change and be ready to walk, you’ll be glad.

      @@sarahsaville6829 Not sure why you said this…… I don’t think my personal experience needs to be all inclusive, as it’s my experience. Nor does any of my statement have rejection of any gender being narcissistic. I am very inclusive of all genders, but when dealing with specific situations I tend towards being accurate in my descriptions. All genders can be either victim or narcissist. Does that help you out. Just as an FYI, my kid is trans, so I have no gender bias. On a personal level I have preferences, which is not based on gender one bit, but personality. I do hope you have plenty of growth so you can lighten the load on your judgement part of yourself.

      Are you able to change your job? One that requires less work hours, and during the day? Sit with her. Tell her your not happy, and her and your life needs to change. Ask her if she has any ideas how things can improve. Ask her if she is happy, and what would make her happy. Tell her you prefer to spend more time with her then have more work hours or money. Try and find a way out, even if you need to move to the country with cheaper housing, even camping. Try to go on a date once a week. Ask her to write a list of things she would like you to do around the house, and say you will try to get to them. Try to do one a week. It's important to help around the house, because there are things you can do that she can't manage to do. Working at home is usually longer hours then working at work. I'm sure she will appreciate an attempt to help in ways she can't. Find out her favorite love validation (kind words, actions, gifts, etc) and try to give more of that to her.
