I was married but left my husband, because i feel he can't support me and my son, and that he adds to my stress. I can't raise both him and my son. I need a man whom i can rest my head on his shoulder and close my eyes, knowing that he loves and and can protect me from anything. For 5 years now i am alone. I used to say - being alone doesn't mean being lonely. I liked taking in control on my life, without someone dragging me down. Ever since i left him, i got a good job, renewed my relationship with my siblings and parents, my son gets the education and the things he need. I don't go out socializing to meet someone, because technically i'm still married. And i can never picture myself with another man, except for fictional characters. All i do is work, take care of my kid and when i get free time i watch dvds or go online. These 2 things i like doing the most keeps me busy, but also shows me how much my like sucks. I like watching romantic comedies. But everytime i watch it, i always wish i'd have my own Edward Cullen :) Or if i go online and browse my friends facebook photos, i'd see how much more the others got so lucky in life. A nice house, a good provider not to mention good looking husband, travels, several kids (i have 1 son who'll be a teenager next year, and i was dying to have a baby girl for over a decade now) I just watched watching The curious case of benjamin button. I missed cuddling in bed and watching a movie with someone. Then i thought of my husband, we liked watching movies together. I thought momentarily of getting back together, but then Im going to have a heart attack from all the stress i'll be getting from him. See he can't hold a job for so long, he wants to have his own business. I told him before i left him that bills won't wait for him to get a job, that our son won't stop growing and that expenses would keep piling if he can't get his act together. Then i left him, he struggled to get a job as a book salesman. I supported that, even helped him sell. But he wasnt earning enough to support himself. Then he went to his province to get into a fishing business with his parents. He was finally getting what he wanted, his own business. But its been 3 years now, and he's still broke. He sometimes sends me money coming from a loan. But he asks me for money more often than he sends one. I dont want to sound selfish. I know im supposed to support him. I did, but nothings happening. I dont want to be dragged down by his wrong decisions. I got my son to raise. I dont usually see my glass as half empty. But sometimes (like now) i see my glass as empty and shattered. But i'll get over it.

If you are so sick of him why you not divorcing him, I mean your son is a teenager now, he can see there is something wrong with his parent marriage. Talk with your son how do you feel and maybe you can find your way from there.

we don't have divorce in our country. i know that i should talk to my son, but im not good in having serious conversations. I usually breakdown. but i know that once we have that conversation, things will point to a better direction (i hope).

I have a best friend who has the same problem like you, and she even has 2 kids!!technically, yes, she is still married,but her hubby is irresponsible and she wants to divorce ASAP. So sorry to hear your story. I am still single but i have some friends who are in similar situations as well You have to start your new life. You deserve a better person who can take care of you. If you think that you can save your marriage together, try discussing with him, explain what you really need.
