The only reason I am still living in a place I hate, helping the stbx...complains about his landscape business (I paid 10k for equipment/machinery, etc.),

he has major medical issues...I have so had it, I have tried to be a good person but I am sick of supporting a selfish person who takes from me, and gives nothing in return......

Take some time away and see how you you feel then. Evaluate if you are fine with out him or if stress is just getting in the way of your relationship and making you hate him.

I think Ohs is right...you need to separate yourself from the Marriage for awhile and see how you feel. I don't say that lightly. 10 years is a long time to be attached to someone, and if you truly feel that half of that time has been a living he77 you need time away to search your heart.

I've been with my guy for 23 years now. There are good times, bad times and boring times...but 5 years of misery sounds like too much.

Sorry you're going through this.

What type of medical problems?
I know it doesn't excuse him from treating you like crap but being the one in pain (if he has pain) I can tell you how it feels on this end when a spouse isn't exactly supportive all of the time.

I did not ask to be this way and try my hardest to stay cheerful but some times it's hard. Some days I need someone loving & caring, while other times I'm in so much pain I want to be left alone.

The hardest thing is the "for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part".. knowing that someone said they'd stay with me through it but want to bail...

Nah, it's okay..... I had the same question... Closest thing I had was 'STX' which was a company that manufactured lacrosse equipment...

Anyway, with that out of the way, I'd say deliver the ultimatum if you haven't already. Let the man understand that this may very well be the end if conditions aren't met......

If you've already done this then your actions should come as no surprise..
