[QUOTE="nvts, post: 144645, member: 3814"] Oh, wait, hold on here! This is no way for a 42 year old dynamic, intelligent, articulate woman to be feeling about herself! Get to counseling so that you can see what we see on the board. You're a warrior mom! But more important than that: you're settling for less than you deserve! "Why bother?!!!" I'd like to take every ounce of aggression in my body to let him know "why bother!". Stay for the kids? Why? So that they can see a man disassociate from a caring, loving human being?!! You have got to be kidding me! Can we all say "Mr. Mid-life" together? My husband pulled this a little over a year ago. I put up with it for exactly 7 months and then told him to go and live his life somewhere else. Once I truly experienced the total apathy that he was showing, I didn't care if he came or went. It's been a while, and our marriage is a constant work in progress, but to tell you the truth, I was the one who had to say "enough". Why would he leave if he's got someone raising the kids, cleaning the house, doing the laundry and he doesn't even have to buy a card? OMG, I just want to smack him! Um, er, can anyone say "PMS?" Sorry if I seem so pushy, but I think you're a pretty neat person Paula, and it drives me nuts when I hear this type of thing! Go to therapy and understand that you're way too good to put up with this!!! Beth [/QUOTE]
