We have been married since 1993 and have 3 children the most recent 6 months ago. My wife is very hostile and mean and verbal toward me and the kids. We don't sleep in the same bed when I am home. I work a 14 on and 14 off rotation offshore so I am basically gone half the year 14 days at a time.. I basically take a cussin the whole time I am home for everything from not working over on my days off and making more money to not being home and helping with the kids. She cusses me and kids with every breath and I am sick of it. I do nothing but sacrifice for her and the kids. I have done without a personal vehicle for the last 4 years and let her update hers.. We struggle to keep ahead of our bills and she is constantly complaining and bitching about my income.. You would not believe some of the cruel, mean, belittleing things she says to me and alot of the time it is infront of the kids..I am thinking of a legal separation cause I am nothing but a room-mate to her and I deserve better than this.. I have never cheated on her but she accuses me of it all the time cause she uses that as deterent so that I won't . We have not made love in a year and a half and before then it was about a year.. I need to be loved physically and emotionally and I deserve it. I provide a good living and our children are straight A students. There is alot there to be happy and satified about and she sees nothing but doom and gloom. Someone pleas help me... I love my kids with all my heart. and Don't want them raised in a broken home..

You need to set her down for a heart to heart and tell her how you feel. Have you read about the emotional needs and love busters on this site? They could really help your situation.Also have you asked her about maybe counceling?
