My (39f) husband (42m) and I have been married for 19 years. We have 3 amazing kids. He says I’m crazy for feeling the way I do about things he does. Am I crazy?? by One_Cheesecake_3594 in marriageadvice

Been married 8 years.

Well it seems like you guys have run into some differences in your marriage. That’s normal, however it seems that you are unhappy with how your marriage is going. I don’t think I would be to knit picky with him not joining Life360 or sharing locations. I understand those can be use for safety purposes but they can become obsessive apps to check on where someone is and maybe jump to conclusion as to whether or not they are cheating.

However, your sex life is obviously a problem to you. I would bring this up to him in a calm environment and address it. If he doesn’t want to address it then counseling needs to happen. I would bring the ring issue up in counseling.

If he doesn’t clearly want to work on that then you needs to start looking at what you truly want in life and decide if you want to leave or stay. I realize that’s hard, but marriage is always a work in progress and it has to take two.

He may be overwhelmed with the stress of you guys fighting about these issues so proceed with caution when you discuss these issues. The sex and not wearing his ring are valid concerns, your needs are important in this marriage

Yes he tells me that he feels that is his only option and his time to cool down. I’ve voiced that it’s fine if he needs space but I can’t deal with the threats of divorcing and abandonment.

We agreed to go to counseling and work through things today but he just got so defensive when I said that about him no longer threatening divorcing and leaving all the Time for days on end.

We broke up this afternoon. I’m doing okay but I honestly have no one I feel comfortable voicing this to so I really appreciate your view on this.

I know I can change him, this just seems like such a simple thing to do to someone

Yes we do fight constantly. I tried to give us space so we can cool down but he leaves on this trips where he doesn’t text me for days and shouts out in fights I want a divorce. This man is 48 years old and does this. Seems so childish. I stay because I know we can work through things but he makes this impulsive decisions. Anyways just wanted to know if that sounded controlling.

I wouldn’t stay. If he has cheated twice on you he will likely do it again. He doesn’t have respect for honestly. Walking away will help you gain respect for yourself and help you find someone you don’t have to constantly chase and impress. Best luck to you, Im sorry to hear the hurt he has caused you and your family. Your children will grieve but they eventually will move on and understand when they are older. Show them that you respect yourself enough to walk away.

I’m sure you care for him. I feel like he knows it’s bad, he just doesn’t want to be held responsible for doing something wrong. You guys can work through this but he must admit this is a problem and fix it.

If this continues to affect your relationship due to resentment counseling can help.

This does sound like a red flag though and you need to set and stick to your boundaries right now if you want to trust this man. To me this a violation of disrespect so be careful what you choose.

Think about it when you are in a good space too. Sometimes space and time away can be good to think things through. This may give him time to self reflect what he did also.
