I've been posting for a while now on the emotional needs board, but I am now separated from my H and I'm moving this coming Friday. I just wanted to say Hello to everyone here.

I have been reading posts here. My H is a very controlling man. I -on the other hand- am very independent, so you can imagine how we have clashed. H and I have been married less than a year. I am 40. He is 55. I've been married once before. I am his 3rd wife Our problem began as soon as we got married. H doesn't like anything about my son who lives with me (he lived with me before we married too) So this has caused terrible tension in our marriage. H admits he has withheld affection to "punish" me for how I handled my S (son is 19 and leaving for the airforce in a month <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> )
One would think that all would be fine now that my son is leaving but I feel so much hurt for the past year. Our divorce will not go through for 6 months (Louisiana <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ) so we will see how things go.
The funny thing is now H is sweet to me, wants to have sex (which he NEVER did) and seems to be nearly happy that I am moving out. Go figure!
I hope that I can regain my sanity, self-esteem, and catch up on my sleep once I've moved.

Hi and welcome.

Its pretty slow around here on the weekends. Sorry you find youself here. My H is sort of the same, after treating me badly for a year, now that he said we should divorce and begin making plans, he is more friendly and talkative then he has been. I dont know what thats about.
