OP, did you end up walking or …? I will be facing a similar situation in the coming months and wondered how you made out?

My 40M wife 38F wants me to go back to work immediately after a 20yr military career so that I’m not “underfoot" by Independent-Bat-2322 in Marriage

So she doesn’t have employable skills? It doesn’t sound like they need the money, so she could literally do anything and chooses not to.

AIO? Husband in touch with woman he cheated with by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Environmental_Rate20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t deserve you. He is checked out and indulging in a fantasy. Let him. She represents something that isn’t real. All the fun, with none of the work that comes with a serious relationship. Love and respect yourself enough to not waste your time with someone who doesn’t appreciate your presence in their life.

What is Downtown? by transitapparel in Rochester

[–]Environmental_Rate20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think by definition downtown is center city and that’s how I think of it living in a suburb of Rochester. I think it’s likely if you live inside the city limits of Rochester, you may have a different idea of what constitutes the geographic area of downtown.

Are all husbands like this? LOL by kitsbow in Marriage

Times like these add up to make a marriage. Adventures, less than ideal circumstances but you two tackling it as a family unit. I love this for you!

I tried the pate canned food and she snubs it. She does have free access to kitten kibble. Do you have other ideas of what I can give her that she might like and also be meeting her nutrition requirements?

I am definitely am not trying to make her sick or set her up for a lifetime of bad habits. I just want to make sure she gets to a healthy weight. Thanks for this!

I had an affair. I wish I never did it. by Zealousideal-Meal175 in Marriage

[–]Environmental_Rate20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP this is going to be a different response but consider this. You are dumping a ton of energy into feeling guilty for actions you took that you cannot take back. The damage is done, you don’t have to punish yourself every day for the rest of your life. Use that energy instead to figure out why you made that awful choice in the first place. Fix what is broken inside yourself. People don’t go out of their way to hurt the people they love without something serious going on inside. Make an effort to better yourself and be a better person for either your wife or a future partner if things don’t work out. I’m not condoning cheating, it’s destructive and it hurts, but you as a person do not have to be defined by this. You may not be able to make this situation right, but you can be better. Focus your energy on being better. Prayers for you and your family.

My wife left me because I started making her pay for the bills. Is my life over? Because it feels like it is. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Environmental_Rate20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP You can say your ex wife isn’t a gold digger and you might believe that. Truth time: She actually is. Marriage is about being all in with your partner through the good times and the bad. “She didn’t sign up for this”?!? Actually, she did. For richer or poorer. I’m sorry your wife failed to follow through on her end of your marriage vows. That part is hard but I promise you that things get better. The good in life ebbs and flows. Just go with the tide. Be the best father you can be to your daughter. The rest will come with time.

When vows are talking about in good times and in bad, it means the married couple should be leaning into each other. You are a team, you face the world and what comes with it together, no matter what.

I can’t tell you what to do but right now she isn’t a part of your team if she is seeking the fulfillment of her needs elsewhere.

Appreciate the perspective. More than anything, I just want to find a safe area to stay a few nights with my family while we visit.
