Happy bday to me.

[Lisalisa215]

So today was my 39th bday. My husbands was yesterday. I bought him a gift and took him and our kids out to dinner. Today was mine and nothing. He usually stays over a few nights a week and stays at his moms the other nights. We're separated but I thought still trying to make it work. During our marriage he has had two children by another woman ages 3 years old and 6 months. We've been together for 18 years married for 13. I'm so tired. He called, but no gift and never came by to say happy b day in person. It feels so one sided. I'm so emotionally attached to him. I have a couple friends, but they don't understand why I stay with him. Me either. I have 2 kids ages 11 and 16. A job I loath, but I earned my masters degree 2 years ago. I haven't persuaded another job yet. I am not financially dependent on him, but I do struggle financially. He is currently not helping in that aspect. He doesn't earn a lot of money. I want to just leave my job and take some personal time off. I'm drained.i just can't let my marriage go. I started counseling a few months ago, but still stuck in a rut. Advice??

Happy birthday Lisa. I can't really give you any advice on your marriage as have been happily married for 47 years but I don't think yours is helping your mental health.

Hope you manage to have a lovely day and try and spoil yourself.

Here's' a gift from me 💐 Good luck.

Belated happy birthday. I'm not sure I can offer help, but I did something similar, holding on by the fingernails to a relationship that wasn't good. Its not good for your mental health.
