no place to go after conversation with WW - 12/10/06 08:31 PM
my wife and i just got back from a funeral. it was a three hour drive one way. on the way home, we talked.
my wife told me, she doesn't respect me, she resents me, she finds me unattractive and is embarrassed by me physically and socially. she feels smothered by me and if she stayed she would need more freedom. she swears that she will never cheat on me again or have contact with the OM. When I said that I was hurt by her statements and that I can't see how I can remain in the marriage any longer, she said that I was "over-reacting" and that I asked her to tell me the truth and when she does I start divorce talk.
i told her that i don't want to be excluded from my spouses social life and that if she was "embarrassed" by me, that this doesn't really leave much room for saving the marriage. In the last 2 years I have lost 40 lbs. In the last 6 months I've gained back about 10lbs. I am overweight, but I'm not obese. I am a forty year old professional. I make decent money and I've always thought I was viewed as fun to be around.
I'm hurt and really don't see how I can stay married to her after these comments.
