It never ceases to amaze me that women are still focused on finding a man yet talk the big feminist talk about independence blah blah blah. What a crock.
First of all one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Let me spell it out for you. Being a feminist has nothing to do with either having or not having a relationship. Second of all, pay attention. Many women here have stated they are not looking for a relationship to make them happy. Third of all, what century are you living in? Men can be Feminsts, many are. It’s a matter of believing in the equality of men and women, not the rejection of men or relationships with them.
feminism noun
fem·i·nism | \ˈfe-mə-ˌni-zəm \
Definition of feminism
1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests
What is happiness anyway? My husband, ten years older than me, eaten up with OCD, PTSD and bitterness. He has high blood pressure, other physical issues.
Today I was lambasted for not filling up the dog's water bowl to the brim. I was about a cup short. So he's not talking to me.
This is what I deal with. To divorce is not the answer. So I deal with him and his moods.
I do, however, pray to God to give me just ONE day longer on this earth than him. So I can have one day of peace in my life, just one day.

Why is divorce not the answer?
He will be fine without you. They always find a way to carry on.
"put up with," "get nothing out of it"? I don't understand; it sounds like she's a burden to you. I hope you get *something* out of it; otherwise, why be in the relationship?
"Get nothing out of it" may be too strong. She's at least able to walk short distances now. We can go out to eat and not need a wheelchair. We've had a lot of fun together this year, but I am, literally, doing all the work. When you're driving someone around, having to pick them up/take them, rolling them in a wheelchair, having to do all the planning, paying for absolutely everything, etc., it gets exhausting.
She wanted to go to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville desperately back over the summer. I had to call around several hotels to find one I felt confident could accommodate a person in a wheelchair that also had a handicap shower. I had to help her get in/out of the shower, position the shower bench, help her with the handicap shower head, etc.
We were only gone for two days and I walked over eight miles in those two days - mostly pushing a wheelchair. By the time I came home, my muscles ached all over. I felt like I had been through a grueling workout.
Did I have a good time? Yes, but I also worked my rear off.

Do I hate my life? No. Do I like her, love her even? Yes. You can love someone without necessarily wanting to tear their clothes off. She has medical issues that make the physical aspect difficult, but I wouldn't put up with all I do if I didn't care for her. Heaven knows I get nothing out of it.
You can love someone and not necessarily want to tear their clothes off. But if you are seriously "in love" with someone (in my experience) you would want to feel like tearing their clothes off as often as possible. I don't believe your relationship can possibly last.

Be happy now!
It is just not. Lots of issues. I've tried, believe me.
