Dealing with an unhappy marriage.

**ilovecats** · 07-19-2009, 08:55 PM

I assume/hope I am not the only one.I am not happy but due to financial problems,and other reasons I really don't have a choice.I know a lot of it is my fault because I should have made sure I was able to take care of my kids myself,but now I can't possibly support myself and know I am stuck.I wonder if anyone else is dealing with the same thing?I am really feeling bad about letting myself be trapped,hoping to hear that someone else is going through/or has gone through something similar.I am almost 44 and feel that I really screwed up my life,not sure if I will ever be able to make up that up.Just feeling a little glum.

I'm sorry you feel this way. Its sad sometimes what we have to do to make it in life. I really hope you feel better and things get better for you.

I do understand what you are going through. I stayed in a bad, unhappy marriage for 23 years, until my kids were grown. Then I took what I could carry and left. Never looked back. It turned out to be the best thing I ever did. I do regret not leaving earlier but with kids its harder to do.

It isn't to late. I mean it might take you some time but you can do it.

My prayers are with you.

I know what you mean. Right now I am happy, but there have been times when DH and I fight and I want out I realize I cant . I have 5 kids and would have to work 3 jobs just to support them. All I can say is hang in there, and if possible, take even $5 a week and put it in a seperate account. Just keep on saving every penny you can. Eventually you will have enough to live on for a few months if you need to leave.
So sorry you are going through this and I hope things get better ((((( hugs)))))

Hugs, I'm sorry things are bad for you right now. I know people in a similar position and it's a really tough way to live. I need to drive over and pick you up for an escape some day.

I know times are hard right now, but if you could find a PT job you could start saving up money to get out. That is no way to live, remember we only have one life, why would you want to spend it living miserably.

I wish you the best I couldn't imagine being unhappy in a marriage every day.

Don't let the negatives weight you down, you have got to believe that things will get better

I know exactly what you mean.I was miserable for what felt like {married 25 years** forever but had five children to worry about.Finally five years ago he ran off and cheated with a woman the age of our oldest.He moved out after I caught him and now I am poor as dirt but happier than I have ever been.Do not give up hope,stay strong for you and your kids and whatever is meant to happen will.If you end up like me, on your own with your kids, you will find a way.God Bless You And Your Children.Hugs-Debbie

And I was 42 years old so Please hang in there.You have a lot of life left to be happy.
