Is He My Roommate Or My Husband? Hmmm. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life1 year ago

Oh my goodness, how sad is this?
My marriage is officially over. We're just roommates putting up with eachother because we have to. I didn't want to face it a year ago, but I'm dead on now to actually admit what it really is.
Now I've made peace with the fact that we're never going to fall in love with eachother or ever have a normal or happy marriage. Now I don't know what to do or where to go from here.
This leaves me puzzled and clueless. Has anyone here ever been through a messed up situation?

If you don't have kids I guess it's for the best if you keeps along with your lives, separately.
If you have kids... that's more complicated. I don't know, but I think that even with kids maybe it was for the best that you solve your situation....


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

Yes we have a 9 month old daughter, that's what makes this really complicated.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (7735)   ranked 954 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

And he decides to all of a sudden just walk out now? How can he do this to you? It is very sad... I hate to bring this up but does he have someone else that you may not know about? It sounds like he may be in love with someone else... You just don't walk into love and then decide to just fall out of love. It does not work this way! If he can be with you and make a child with you, then surely there has to be some kind of connection here??? How can he just fall out of love with you, and then give you no reason why.. This is sad, very sad.. If I were you, I would ask him what caused his change of heart, so suddenly.. confusedconfusedsad


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

I don't know if there's anyone else or not, but if there is, he does a heck of a good job hiding from me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

That's "hiding it from me"

Hi, I am glad to see you here! Happy Thanksgiving! If you both are acting as roommates, then it is wise that one of you move out. There is no need to live under the same roof if he acts like he does not want to be with you. One of you need to make the decision on who stays and who goes. It seems like you really love this man, I can tell. I know the feeling of being misled. Believe me I do. It is sad. Will he communicate with you, and tell you where you both can go from here? If, he is not in love with you anymore, then let him go. If you have kids, then it may be hard to let go. I have seen your daughter on your profile page. She is very beautiful. It is sad that he will be leaving a precious family as this. If this is his child, it is a shame that he will walk out on you, with no regret. I hope that you can talk to him and sort all this out so that you can't get hurt anymore from his rejection. Take care. And remember, you don't have to put up with this silent treatment mess. Get out and do something that will make you happy and feel loved all over again. You have your daughter to think about. I hope that you can feel much better about this situation very soon. You need no storms in your clouds... sad


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

Hi cream. I'm glad to be here and it's always great to see you here. Well he says that he wants to stay together, but there are issues that makes it impossible to make it work, like religion. We both knew that we had different beliefs before we got married, and now he says that he want me to attend his church every Sunday.
He says that he needs someone that shares the same beliefs because it makes the marriage easier.

A lot of times we don't talk at all, like right now he's over his family's house having Thanksgiving dinner and his family doesn't like me. His aunt says she's a prophet and she knows that I'm not the right woman for him.

The truth is I'm not in love with him but I do care whether he lives or dies. He's not the man I married. He's a completely different person. We literally go days without talking, and when we do talk, it's about the baby or something else.
I know now he's not the man I'm supposed to be with. It sucks.
Happy Thanksgiving Cream. Thanks for your reply.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (7735)   ranked 954 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

I am so sorry for you miraclefreebies, really I am. It is very sad that you have to put up with this. He has to have his foot in his mouth! Me and my husband were two different religions and we made it together. We went through a world of fire. But we made it. He listens to gospel music, while I was into R&B. Now, I am listening to gospel as well. And he listens to R&B too. What is his religion? Because as far as I know there is only one religion, and that is the body Of Christ. There is only one religion, like there is only one God. I really believe that he is just making all of this up just to get rid of you. That is his excuse of leaving you. And if his aunt was so much of a prophet, telling him that you two are not meant to be together. That is very untrue! She cannot call herself a prophet, and then try to keep him away from you. You should still be invited for Thanksgiving dinner at their house as well. It is sad that they all treat you like this. God is not pleased with their manner towards you. Why do they hate you so much? And what is your husband's problem, walking out on you like this? I don't know your full story... But, religion should not be the reason that he has fallen out of love with you. He needs to come better than that... It also sounds like his family is trying to turn him against you.. They may have played a part in why you and your husband marriage has fallen apart..


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (7735)   ranked 954 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

Going to church every Sunday does not make you a Christian. We are Christian's when we live outside of the church. Out Christian life begins here. Not in Church. There is no wonder why you are no longer in love with him anymore. With someone that makes me feel sad, I am very sure that my feelings would change for them too. No one can hold onto love for so long..


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

He didn't act this way when we first met. All of this started about 5 months after we got married, but at that time I actually thought it was hope, but now I'm sure it isn't.

One thing I don't do is sit around, cry and feel sorry for myself. I always been the type of person that creates happiness, joy and laughter from within myself and from the people and things that I do have in my life.

I have my daughter and other family members, and of course I have myself to keep joy alive.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (7735)   ranked 954 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

I know that is right! Never let anyone steal your joy! Your life, love and happiness is just too precious to just let someone turn it into sorrow! I knew you was strong! You will get through this entire situation! All you have to do is call on the name of Jesus, and everything pain will be dismissed from your heart. It just puzzles me why men and women just fall out of love with one another so abruptly. I know that you don't start seeing a man true colors until you get to know him more and more... I understand this myself... I have been through storms after storms in my love life! I refuse to go through anymore! You will make it! I know that you will! god will see you through! Like you said, you and your daughter is what you are thinking about! Keep doing so! Be Blessed in everything that you do!happyhappyhappy

My goodness, yes! I was married for 19 years to my ex and he left me for his high school girlfriend. I'll now admit that we were both unhappy but I kept thinking it would get better, I had all kinds of plans to jumpstart our relationship but nothing ever worked. It was actually a blessing when he left, although it hurt me very badly and our kids were a wreck and still are, in a way. Up till the last day, he would tell me he loved me, I think because he thought if he said it often enough it would make it true. Although I loved him and I still do, I now admit it's better this way. We were really just roomates that had kids together, in his mind. There were a lot of other problems but it's not pertinent to this discussion.

You are young and have a lot of years ahead of you. Sit down with him and discuss this, figure out a way to free both of you so that you can both have a good life and possibly be free for the love of your life which will come along eventually. And if he/she doesn't, at least you won't be miserable living with someone you don't love. Don't waste years living with someone you each don't love.

I will keep you in my prayers. I know this is tough, but you can get through it and live life like it should be lived, with happiness.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

I will plan to have that discussions with him soon. Yes it's hard even though I don't love him, and I do agree with you about being free for the love of our lives. Thanks dragon54u.

Sometimes couples still live together after divorce because of financial reasons. Neither party is able to branch out on their own at the moment. I guess it become an uncomfortable situation is either person decides to date again.
My husband's sister had to do that for a while, her and her husband were divorced and lived together in the same house. They had two little girls. He actually bought out her portion of the house, and she was able to find another place and eventually moved out.
I can imagine, it is a very uncomfortable situation. I do not think I can live with someone that I can not get along with, but I guess if the situation came came up, I would have to swallow my pride and deal with it until I could make different arrangements.
Good luck

We can put up with eachother as far as living under the same roof, we don't fight and yell or anything, a lot of times we just don't say anything at all to eachother.

Try to talk it over with him and see where he is coming from see if maybe some counseling will help. Try to keep your marrigae, I am not saying stay there if you are not happy what I am trying to say is to make it work make happiness. It is hard out here in this world all by yourself. Maybe and I hope it is just a stage that he is going through and will open his eyes before it get to far..


You can't judge a book by its cover, by your attitude and personality here on MyLot you never would have guessed this. You were one of the happiest people here on MyLot to me. Don't give up.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes, I cream97 agree to this! Miraclefreebies is very strong in mind and heart! She will get through this! I am just sadden by how her husband is treating her. He needs to be really honest with her, because I believe that he is hiding what is really bothering him. If he had really loved her, he would have never left her to be with his other family and not the one that he created. When he walks out on you, he is walking out on your marriage. It seems that he is stressed out too. But, he needs to talk to you. You are both in this together. And he needs to include you in his feelings. He is not showing you that he cares. He really needs to shape up before it is too late! Miraclefreebies is too much of a beautiful and loving woman to be taken through this by the man that she vowed to spend the rest of her life with! He needs to be more clear with you, miraclefreebies. He is not telling you the REAL reason why he is not into you anymore. Something is up, I can sense it. His family needs to stay out of your marriage, and let him be a man and talk with you. His aunt is no prophet, any woman of God that does not invite her nephew's wife over for Thanksgiving dinner is no prophet! Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of sharing, love being thankful for what God has given to us all. They are not at all portraying this image on this day, and any other day at that! To treat you so badly on this day, is sickening! I don't get it, why would a man marry a woman if he knows he is not ready to settle down.. sad I will be praying for you, miraclefreebies. There is a rainbow beneath all of this sadness.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

Thanks Chevee and Cream. We have tried counseling before, but he didn't agree with some of the things that she said to him. She didn't take sides, she was totally neutral. She spoke the truth, and he dropped out.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (7735)   ranked 954 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

He just can't seem to handle being with you! If he does not feel the same way, just let him go! You have no time for games. You are a very mature woman ready to take charge of your life, you don't need any man trying to slow you down. You have a life that is ahead of you that does not include an stumbling block, like your husband.. sad


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

You said it right cream, he's definitely a stumbling block.

i am in pretty much the same situation. i was very in love with my husband when we married and he was with me as well. over the years, 18 to be exact, so much has happened and he has been so hurtful to me on many occasions or just not there for me that i feel we are roommates as well. we stay togehter for many reasons and i do not feel like going in to them here but it is sad because i am very disappointed in how my life turned out and i am just too tired and stressed to change it too much at this juncture.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

I'm so sorry to hear that. You don't deserve to be treated that way. We need to do something about this drama in our lives. We should be treated like the queens we truly are. Stress is bad for us, that's why I never let anything drag me down.

I'm generally a happy person, and I'm smiling now, even as I speak. I want you to smile too. Show that man that he can't win. SMILE.

I am really sorry to hear this. Yup, it does sound messed up. But, do you want to make your marriage work? If you really want to have another go at your marriage, there is plenty of help available. You could read books on it, go for couple counseling, or have a good heart to heart talk with your spouse.

I wish you luck.

Cheers and happy mylotting

Yes, I have been through it, and we are now divorced. The reason that he never had time for me was because he was making time with someone else. He even suggested we sleep in separate rooms! When he finally came out with he was in love with someone else.. I knew who it was and asked.... Is it Karen? He said yes.. I said to not let the door hit him in the a$$ on the way out. We had been through so much, he and I. He couldn't ever keep his pants zipped. He had one woman try to pin a baby on him, but since she was already married she didn't push it to ruin her marriage. I would not put up with one more minute of a man not being committed to a marriage to me. That's what it is you know... if a man or woman is not IN the marriage they are not committed to it... and why should we put up with that?


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 124 out of 37,595 in life  1 year ago

Sounds like you're past the first two years of the relationship and have settled into "reality" mode.

That "in love" feeling is usually only temporary and now the real work of working as a team to get through this life is what it's all about.

If you want to have that in-love feeling again, either have an affair or divorce him and get married again.

If you have kids, a better idea would be to just work on being a team and raise your children.

Happy Thanksgiving and...

Happy MyLotting!
