Obviously, this man in question has taken his eyes off of the prize. There must have been a strong desire to marry,
some motive behind his willingness to commit from the first day that he mouthed the words "until death do us part."
It's also obvious that he didn't really mean it, when it came to the: "for better or worse" part, the "for richer or poorer",
nothing more or less, than standing up and getting married for all of the wrong reasons. The stack of bills there on the
kitchen table, is mounting, he's looking for the cop-out door, believing that his dealings with life, is like playing a game of
Texas Holdem', just go "all-in" and hope that your cards are the winning cards. Don't make his life easy in that respect,
if anyone knows the opponent, it is you. Exploit his weaknesses, counter his every move and if, when the dust dies down,
you are left standing, stand proud.

Concern yourself with self preservation, you must go on and whether together or alone, it's your road to travel but never
to carry more than your load. Reach out for support among your social network, and increase your base input. You'll get
better, cost-free advice here on the net, than any personal councilor will give to you, at any cost.

Take my advice and get on with your life no matter how hard it is. I'm trying to do the same thing and it sucks because we have 2 kids, but I am becoming a stronger person because of it.
Think about your kids and what type of examle your setting for them of what marraige is. I cannot stand to be around my husband right now, but at this point I am the only one who can do anything about it. What sucks even more is when your oldest comes to you and says "if Daddy is mean to you again, come sleep in my room and I will protect you". Just really think about what your kids are seeing and feeling.
I just wanted to say that your comment about what your oldest said to you brought tears to my eyes. Children are amazing little beings and each one is a blessing. Please hug your oldest for me!

This is an older post, from 2010...hopefully all the parties who posted about problems have them fixed by now and are happier.
