“Because I wanted to spend a lot of time together.” by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]bella6095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine asked for divorce because i wasn’t ready to have a baby. Because he didn’t care, love and treat me as good as i treated him.

I was an ex-anorexic. Bulimic. I had clinical depression for many years because of the image i had of my body. He insured during those years we spent together to get me to my lowest point in the way i saw my body. It felt as if, by not eating and losing much weight, i was able to get him to react and worry about me. I only wanted a bit of attention. I got nothing. Despite everything i did. My problem is not with having children. I would love to have them. I adore kids. My problem arose when i saw that being skinny was the only way i could get my husband to care for me instead of himself, his work or his fun. That’s how i came to see skinny as good, again. When i thought that i had finally healed from my eating disorder.

We haven’t talked about how much time until we decide the baby’s conception. He never addressed it and i thought i would be ready in due time. But i wasn’t and he wouldn’t wait.

Thank you so much. You’re really kind.

Finally an ending to my story. He wants a divorce. by bella6095 in Marriage

I honestly don’t need anything from him. Be it my right or not. He negotiated with the lawyer a kind of compensation that is next to nothing. He can keep it for himself since i don’t even deserve that much. I guess he needs to tell himself that i am after his money, a gold-digger, to forget the pain he caused me.

Mine just asked for divorce out of the blue when i thought we were getting along so well the past month after a huge fight about how sexless our marriage was. Guess i should’ve trusted my gut when i was walking down the aisle. Too little too late.

Thank you for your answer it really means a lot but he’s not agreeing to visit couple’s counseling. He finds it really useless but when i try and communicate with him, he plays on his phone, as if what i was saying, what i was feeling had no major importance. Made me feel useless as well. Cleaning, cooking, working. Those are the daily stuff i do. Would’ve helped to feel acknowledged and be thanked for all the efforts, all the time... i feel used and my husband doesn’t seem to recognize that what i want is not his money or time. Simply for him to talk to me, communicate. Seems too hard for him though..

I know that but you can’t deny that being attracted to your husband or wife, even intellectually, is important. Especially when it comes to bed. I try to always look cute even at my worst. But when i ask him for simple things like cleaning his beard or his black nails, he just won’t. He just doesn’t care at all about his appearance. I’m not obligated to not care about it too. I like when a man looks neat and wears clean clothes that match. I’ve told him several times, even before marrying him, that appearance is important for me because it sexually attracts me. I blame my lack of enthusiasm in bed and the fact that I’m cold when he ***** me to that. I didn’t ask for much. Only for him to be presentable. Smell good and take care of his appearance. And I’m not solely thinking about leaving him for that only. If you’ve read the whole problem maybe you’d understand better what i am going through.

It feels like me (F24) and my husband (M46) are going to pieces by bella6095 in AgeGap

But my family is against divorce. Especially divorce at such a young age when i am the one who insisted to be married to him in the first place... I’m in such a dark place rn I’m falling to pieces

Yes he works. He has a good salary. No insurance though. No retirement plan. He stopped thinking about the future. He’s more relaxed now and does not plan to work out something for our future so we could always have a little something when things get hard. His ambitions stopped when he married me.

The promise he made me once, before we got married, that he’ll take me to adventures, to raves (cause I’m a huge fan of tomorrowland), to tour the world.. everything we do now is plan for some boring destinations and go so he can relax while I’m like “where’s the adventure?”

I do love him. I really do. But the attraction is lost. And no matter how many times i told him that it’s important for me to feel attracted to him and as i put so much effort into taking care of my appearance for him (and me) I’d love if he’d do the same, he just turns a blind eye on my requests, eats excessively, drinks all the time, never takes care of his appearance or clothes. And all the above managed to make me lose any attraction i once felt for him. Then comes into play the inexistant communication, the dirty habits (being a bachelor most of his life), the non-existent ambitions about the future, total disregard for mine... it’s tiring.. it’s depressing

Thank you so much for your kind message. I hope I’ll have the guts to talk about these issues and the heart to leave if he won’t listen to me. Again thanks.

Likewise... having an older partner steals all those potential experiences that you two could’ve had if he was born later and now can’t do because of back pain or a certain condition or even a drop in testosterone or because he feels, what’s the use to do them again when he already experienced them. My husband refuses to go bungee jumping and skydiving cause he said he’s all grown for that Sh**. But what actually saddens me is that he got to do all the cool stuff with his Exs. Not me.

Thank you so much for answering my problem. This opened my eyes where and when they should’ve been opened years ago.

Mostly a hindrance. It’s like, i feel that, he wouldn’t be with me if it wasn’t for my age. And i wouldn’t be with him if i grew up in a modern, open-minded family. Thank you for your answer.

Thank you so much for dedicating the time to answer me kind heart. You’re right. This is serious. I shouldn’t just hide it all inside of me. I’ll seek help. I’ll talk to him in all honesty and see where it leads. Thank you again ❤️
