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

myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 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?

ive been to a situation like that but not as worse ( im sorry ). were not married but were like living together. it hurts a lot to know that the other one had fallen out of love on the other one.. but as we said. there are things that are intentionally happening because there would be a better one thats coming.

It did hurt at first, but now it doesn't matter whether he's in love with me or not.
Thanks.

If you have kids, you need to seperate. My parents marriage was dead for 6 years before they finally divorced. It was such a living hell. Everyone involved in that situation is happier now. I seriously did a happy dance the day their divorce papers came through. It sucks, but you shouldn't sacrifice your happiness for anyone else.

Thanks trinsmom, that's really good advice. Maybe I should do that. Good point.

What a crying shame.Is there no chance you can at least get back with him? Have you got kids to think about, sometimes it does couples good to have a break and find out they are really good friends as well as husband and wife.What should you do,that is really up to you.Ask him to leave or you leave,if that is not practical draw up house rules and split the house hold chores,if one of you finds another partner don't bring them back to your home, get out and find friends but don't give up completely for a while as you could make a terrible mistake with another man.I am so sorry it has ended up like that for you,yes I have had a bit of this in the past and it is not very nice but you will get through this.xx

Thanks suzzy. I wish that things were different, for the baby's sake, but it's not. If he starts to change for the better, we'll have a chance.

I tried to make it in a marriage for 20 years.
After the first 6-7 years, I knew the love
wasn't truly there.I stayed for my children,
I didn't want them in a broken home. Later I
realised the home was already broken. I got out
for my own sanity. We do what we must. I wish
you the best!


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

You did what you felt like you had to do, and I'm glad you were strong enough to do that. I hope I do the right thing also. Thanks Suzy.

why are you guys living together if you're not married anymore?


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3404)   ranked 1,110 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

They are married just not in a marriage, ie: not in love anymore.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

Thanks camomom, you're right. The so-called marriage isn't a marriage anymore due to many reasons and mistakes.

I'm sorry to say, Yes
Tomorrow will be one week for me to be gone from my home after 17 years of marriage.
I fell out of love with him some time a go. I'm not quite sure how he fills about me.
If it is love, I'm sorry that love feel so painful.
The reason I feel out of love was the way he treated me. So I'm not sure if men can truly
be in love and treat women bad.

I wish you lots of luck. It is not easy, if you decide to leave. But I made a
decision for myself and my kids. For happiness.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

Good for you. I'm glad for you. Love is an action verb, it's about what a person do or don't do. Thanks

If the truth were known I think most of us have been there, done that. Myself I decieded to hang in there, 3 small childdren, no educations, no work experience, I was painted into a tight corner, So I just hung on, finished school, got a job, kid went to school and pretty soon I was living with my best friend and we were raising kids together. 50 years later, he's still my best friend, but we are not in love, though we do love each other. That's how my choice turned ut. Good Luck

I'm glad you're happy now. You surely deserve it. Put the bad behind you. Thanks a lot.

it happens to the best of us.
it's sad but you find a new love eventually or maybe take some time to yourself.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

If or when we break up for good, I might use some time to myself and just pray for God to bring me MR. RIGHT. Mr Right does exist. I know it.

I am sorry to hear that. Yes, I have been in that situation before it is never pleasant. It lasted a couple years towards the end of my marriage. I wish the best of luck, strengh & prosperity if you decide that moving on is the best choice for you.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

I will definitely need it, if it turns out that way. I'm quite a strong person in general. I'll make it. Thanks mrsjbelle.

Yes, for almost 3 years. I knew it was over but thought things would change. They didn't. I fell out of love and tried to let him know that. He didn't get it even after about a year of me telling him. I finally realized it wouldn't change and I'd never love him again. I asked him to leave because I had nowhere else to go and he did. I am happier now then I have ever been. I found my real love of my life and we are engaged and have 2 beautiful children together.

I wish you the best and hope things work out for you. You and only you can change your situation for the better. Be strong and do what you need to do for yourself, no matter how hard it seems. I'm here if you need me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. miraclefreebies (691)   ranked 126 out of 38,095 in life  1 year ago

Thanks camomom, you are the sweetest person. Who knows, I might take you up on that offer. I might need you sooner than you think. You are a good friend, and congratulations for finding the love of your life. You deserve it all and more. I'll keep in touch.

Aww, you're so sweet. PM me if you want to talk.
