Is anyone else extremely lonely even though they have a husband and a house full of kids.

Sounds like you and hubby need a vacation without the kids.

Does he travel a lot or is he there most of the time?

Our relationship died a slow miserable death years ago. We are more like two roommates who have the same kids. He never talks unless he's bitching about something.

Why is this good enough for you? And how can you believe a loveless marriage can form the foundation of a family that's good enough for your kids?

I hear you.

Got it here too. I'm sure there are others.

Do your best to be happy. Seriously. Make light of awkward situations.

Humor is the only thing that has helped me...well, that and meds.

Don't be so serious. Find out why in a kind way. Don't do the sit down we need to talk. That never works.

I would suggest to you...is to put your arms around his arm and lay your head on his shoulder and say, "I would love to go get an ice cream with you tonight. Would that be o.k.?"

Put stuff in his lunch pail like a note. A napkin in the shape of a heart. "Thanks for working so hard for me and the kids."

Spray some perfume on a note and put it in his truck.

When he is complaining or grumpy you can whisper in his ear, "You need to get laid. How about you and I putting the kids to bed early tonight?"

You can only do so much when the income is not there to live without his help.

Let me guess ... your next step will be having an affair and justifying it because you choose to stay in a crappy situation, right?
