weezers Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 My husband and i have been married for four years and have two children, one together, one is mine. We dated in high school and he was my "first love", we went our separate ways for a while and dated other people. i ended up getting pregnant and the father and i were not going to be together. i started dating my current husband again and when he asked me to marry him, i knew in my heart that it wasnt what i wanted, in fact i even asked my mother not to let me go through with it but i was young, naive, scared that my babies father was going to get custody of her because i was a single, jobless mom, and that noone else would ever love a girl with a kid and i thought i could rekindle the love i once felt for him. well, needless to say, it's never happened, i care for him of course but more like a distant friend, not even a good one. i've left a couple times but have always been guilted into coming back and then i got pregnant. i was so depressed because i felt truly stuck because now it was his child and was on antidepressants during my pregnancy. i felt that i should try and make things work and have stuck with it and tried for four years but there is still nothing there. i'm scared to leave because i have an awesome home, i get to stay home with my children, we have money in the bank, basically everything we need. my husband and i have nothing in common and i'm not myself with him, he shows no interest in my life or who i am and we fight constantly about how strict he is with my daughter but it's a livable situation, he doesnt beat me or drink excessivley or anything truly horrible. i feel like a snively brat because i know i'm truly lucky to have all i do but i'm still not happy in this relationship. should i uproot my children, risk everything i have, just because i dont love my husband? is MAYBE someday finding true love or even being along for the rest of my life worth the risk? i'm only 26, can i expect to go on like this for the next fourty+ years? or should i just bite the bullet now while i'm still young and my kids are still young(5years and 16 months)? i desperatly need some advice, and would appreciate any insight anyone might have for me. thank you in advance.
