Hey, I really feel for you. I know your pain, because I was in almost the same situation. First of all, think about your daughter. If she is a "problem" for your husband, stay out. Get rid of him. You have been through so much heartache, and he seems to be adding to it. You deserve to have a man that is faithful to you and that loves your child. What is holding you back? Is it money? Is it mixed feelings? Sit down and write all the good things this marriage gives you and write all the bad. Don't hink with your heart. Think with your head. Sometimes, we feel afraid. We may be afraid that we can't make it financially or that we may be alone for the rest of our lives. Trust me. I understand your feelings. I was so afraid of both. One day, I got to the point in my life that I just didn't care anymore. I didn't care if I was alone. I didn't care if I lived in a cardboard box. I just had to get out. My pain turned to anger. I am living proof (a mother of 5 children) you will not end up alone, unless you decide to be alone). Lean on your friends. That's what friends are for. My suggestion to you is to get out of the marriage...especially if he is with someone else. You deserve more than that. If I can be more help, please let me know. DO NOT let him steal your joy.

Sophie, I know what you are saying about him thinking that he is the only one that is right. I have been there. I also know how you feel when you try to get him to leave and he refuses. I have experienced that as well. You feel helpless. Where can you turn? What can you do? If you are anything like I was, you don't want to call the police on him and you don't want all kinds of drama...especially around your child...and you feel like your hands are tied. I purchased new locks. They are very easy to change. When he walked out, I went to work. Does he have a cell? Leave him a message and tell him he is not to go back. Do not leave anything that belongs to him in the house. Have everything waiting for him outside. Then, he will have no excuse as to why he needs to come in. Try that as a start. Don't make idle threats. If you tell him not to go around or you will call the police --DO what you SAY. Let him know that you mean business. You will not have to press charges on him ...it may be necessary later. I don't know your personality and if I did maybe I could offer better advise for you. Don't give up. Don't give in. Keep your head up and you'll be fine. Please feel free to contact me whenever you need.

in my opinion, at an early age, then the time comes that your love is fading to one another but you have a kid, i think i should try to have a counseling or an activity that may return the healthy relationship that we have. talk to one another and open whatever the point in a relationship that makes it weaker. then, apply it... but, it that thing doesnt work. i would set her free and begin a new life. it hard to be in a relationship that is not working anymore... not, because of the kid/s. it is also for the hapiness of the both parties. so, i would set her free and accept the reality that this is it. i cant live with her anymore...

Sophie,Welcome to mylot..I can feel your pain, I feel so bad for you.I am very sorry anout the loss of your son.I can not really tell you what to do, but by the sounds of your relationship, it sounds like you should get out.If your husband cheated on you once he will do it again.I know, because I once lived through an abuseive relation, he abused me both mentaly and physicaly and he cheated on me, he always said he was sorry and would hange, but never did.They only get worse.If he was not there for you when you needed him most after your child was born, he never will be.Your child, you and him all need to be happy.

I am sad to hear about you loss and predicament. I could only wish the best for you and your family. It not a good idea to get out of marriage as it will affect your child. You said he does not love you or your daughter. Is that really the case? If that is the way he feels why does he stay at your parents house?
What I would suggest is give it another try. continue loving him and care for him. If you have time, have a heart to heart talk, confirm if he still love you and your child. If he says yes, keep fighting for it. If he said no, then you may want to seek counseling, I know there are free counselors in most communities/churches. I can only suggest positive things as I do not know the consequences of ending a relationship (i.e. annulment and legal matters). I do hope your marriage survives. Keep Praying:)
