stay married

My two year wedding anniversary was on Monday the 19th. Unfortunately the husband and I were not able to celebrate together though. He is in Canada working to be able to pay for my schoool down here in Texas. But once I graduate he will finally be moving down here instead of me living up there again. (Though I’d still like to move back to Canada before I’m thirty).

Anyway, I just had a nice time with friends and got myself a tattoo :)

..to live miserably with someone who doesn’t really want you. Moved on

I love my husband more than anything in this world! I do not have any children…probably never will. Although he has a daughter from a pevious marriage I love her as if she was my own.
We have been married for 4 years (1 week is our anniversary). We have been together for 5 years and best friends for 10 years!!
We are not perfect and our relationship is held by a REALLY thick rope because it is STRONG…is all I can say, because we have both had reasons to get up and WALK AWAY.
I will never find another man in this life to love me as much as he does. There is never a day that goes by he does not make me feel BEAUTIFUL, every time I say Im fat,ugly,or I hate myself, he always makes me feel like a millon bucks and puts a smile on my heart (not my face at the time because im in the bitchy mood..lol). I feel our love for each other will hold us together.
It has been really hard to “stay married” but I feel everyone stays married until the love fades away.
Please God just give us the strength to love each other till death do us part.

Despite our best efforts, it is officially over.
And I’m really okay with that now.

I just wanted this as a goal because i realize how difficult it is to stay married these days. We are strong and like everyone else have problems. But I think along with having and trying to achieve these other goals i need to work at staying happily married. So i put it as a goal. to a life time with shana!!!!!!!

I am committed to this marriage, but am very unhappy. I’ve got my own problems that I bring to the table, and no one is unilaterally to blame. Neither of us drinks or does drugs, but we each have our dark sides. In my case, it’s spending money. In his, it’s workaholism. You can see how the two are symbiotic, no?

I am not in incredible debt, but I could be more disciplined about what I spend on my son (I buy him toys far too frequently). At the same time, my husband works all day, and 4 nights a week, and when school starts, he’ll be doing homework on the other 3. I work full-time, and care for my son alone in the evenings. Lots of times, it’s hard to keep him happy without taking him out, and that leads to spending money. We live in a small apartment and he’s 5 and gets cooped up.

I know my husband loves our son, but I’m not sure that he loves me. I’m not sure I love him, but I’ve been reading that it’s better to work on trying to recapture the marriage than leave. So, what do I do to get more time with my husband, for me AND most importantly, for our son?

My husband and I just celebrated our First Year Wedding Anniversary on the 19th and we had a great little celebration with friends, great Italian food, karaoke, a hot tub, and a bonfire! We had a blast, and since it’s a long weekend we decided to celebrate during the whole weekend, haha.

It will have been 35 years that my wife and I were married.

She says she loves me. We live hours apart and see each other weekends. She won’t move. I’d do nearly anything. She cheated. I’ve felt attraction but never acted. I’m devastated.

I tried my hardest and I still think that it’s important for people to try and work things out – but there are two people in a marriage, and when it comes down to it, it wasn’t up to me.
