I HOPE I'M IN THE RIGHT SPOT FOR SOME FEEDBACK. I'M A 36 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF 3 BOYS RANGING IN AGE FROM 15 TO 5. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 5 YEARS AND DATED MY HUSBAND FOR 10 YEARS BEFORE WE MARRIED. SINCE I'VE BEEN MARRIED MY LIFE HAS BEEN AWFUL. I FEEL LIKE A SINGLE MOTHER, MY HUSBAND IS VERBALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE HE'S TRIED PHISICAL ABUSE ONCE DURING OUR MARRAGE AND ONCE WHEN WE WERE DATING.HE WORKS OUT OF TOWN, HE NEVER HAS MONEY TO PAY ON THE BILLS AND AS A RESULT MY KIDS GO WITHOUT ALOT AND SOME ARE NESESITIES. I AM VERY UNHAPPY, I SAY I HATE HIM FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS, I HONESTLY DONT KNOW IF I LOVE HIM ANYMORE I HAVE STARTED THINKING ABOUT DIVORSE, I WORRIED ABOUT IT AND NOT BECAUSE OF FINANCING BUT THE THREATS HE'S PLACED ON ME, AND MY CHILDREN AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEM. IS MY MARRAGE WORTH TRYING TO SAVE? I HAVE READ SOME OF THE INFO AND AM WILLING TO TRY, BUT IM NOT SURE HE IS! I'M THINKING ABOUT GIVING HIM AN ULTIMATUM WHEN HE GETS HOME SAT. MORNING APRIL 21. IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK I'D LIKE THAT. SICK IN SD <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I am not a Roman Emperor nor am I even Russell Crowe playing Maximus in Gladiator (Are you not entertained?!) so I cannot thumbs up/thumbs downu getting a D. Every line of your post speaks to this man not being a good husband and father.That should answer your question.Once the kids are neglected and or suffering at the hands of a spouse the notion of "staying together for the kids" is nullified. Look inside yourself. Are you getting ANYTHING of worth out of this marriage. Is the way he makes you feel ok?How about how your children view you and/or him as a result of his failure or the failure of the marriage. You know the answers to these questions.
I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be (my) style.
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
