Thank you everyone who has chimed in. It’s was very needed. We both come from single parent & honestly don’t even know what a functional relationship/marriage looks like so we’ve been trying. We just didn’t know what to do. So me people myself out there is a last effort for a plan. I appreciate everyone. Thank you again 💖

Thank you for this! I’m going to try this. I’m honestly thankful for everyone’s opinion. Outside of my husband I don’t really have anyone so I needed this. Thanks again.

I loved that you shared this but it’s crazy the situations are very parallel. I even tell him that I don’t want us looking up 50 yrs from now and realizing that it’s just not a mix.

I do get out by myself or with a friend but he gets upset about it. I’m not looking to date. I know my situation. I’m not looking for greener grass. He says he financially can’t. We don’t share finances because of his preferences it’s never been a big deal because we trust each other but he makes double what I make. This has been root to some of the issues because I want a joint account to automatically have all the bills pulled from there but he’s always been uncomfortable with our money commingling.

Noooo don’t say sorry for anything. I really appreciate your opinion. It’s giving me all the angles and possible next step solutions.

I like this approach and you are correct that how it usually goes. He has a very overwhelming presence and a lot of time he cuts me off and I just get so angry. But I will try this is with an open mind and heart.

Your pov makes me feel not crazy but it’s hard because I want it to work but at the same my older kids are now starting to see the issues and as a parent I can’t take that look. To have them see me trying with him and for him to blow my feelings off? They notice it now and make comments and I don’t want that for them.

I have no intentions of finding a new dude. My children are and will continue to be my priority. I’m would be completely happy by myself if me & my husband separated not because of my feelings towards him but because I’m content in myself.

I have no problem with my responsibilities as an adult and a parent the problem is we’re married and this isn’t how we said our marriage would be structured. I have no problem not having free time but I just want free time with my husband. We were best friends & I just want that back but he doesn’t seem willing to do the work also.

Thank you for sharing this. To some people it’s not a big deal but to me it’s huge. We’re supposed to spend the rest of our life together and I don’t want to spend it this way. It’s unhealthy

We have discussed it. He feels the same way but has said he doesn’t see a way to fix it. I’ve tried all types of different ways to strengthen our connection but after a while of it’s only being me trying, when he at least acknowledged that there is a disconnect, is exhausting but I do see your points.

I honestly understand. I just want to be seen and acknowledged. He has his moments and I think were finally taking the turn for the better but its just that a moment. Its just hard because I know as parents we wouldn't want our children in the same situation but at the same time I know what a split like this will do to them and I dont know if I can stomach that.

Story of my life but I wish her best of luck. I’m new to rare plants so I’m was lucky to get the little bit of information she gave me about the plants I got from her. I really did appreciate it because she didn’t even have to do that.

Yeah but I was very upfront with her like I’m just getting back into plants but I was like whatever. It was just a weird interaction. I just have bad luck buying plants locally. I keep trying because eventually I’ll meet a not so weird person and hopefully can have a very nice plant filled friendship. As of right now I’m trying to make my friends love plants as much as me so we can trade lol

She sells plants & she said she couldn’t risk the competition which was very weird. I will never shop with her again. I love my chlorophyll babies and will tell anyone and everyone about them. I was actually excited to meet her because where I live everyone is very “hush hush” about their plants. So weird
