31.
“My husband has been diagnosed with military disability and uses it for every excuse to not do anything. He sits on the couch, plays video games, and watches TV from when he gets up in the morning ’til he goes to bed. I’m not saying that he doesn’t have problems, but he doesn’t do anything with our teenage children, and we barely talk at all. We go days without saying anything to each other. After 14 years of marriage, I am so unhappy and just want my marriage to be over.
“I do the housework, and if I ask him to cook, you would think the world was over — it’s such a major problem for him. He does have trouble dealing with people, but I can’t stay like this forever. I like doing things, going to flea markets, carnivals, amusement parks, etc., and it’s not worth it to even ask if he wants to go because he always shuts down or causes a scene. He has threatened to make my life miserable if I leave, but it’s affecting my kids, and I don’t want them to think this is what marriage is like — because I know it’s not.”
