No longer in denial............. 

last night I had a revelation, a break through actually. I finally get it. I have been fighting for a few months now, for my marriage.And finally I get it. One person can not fight alone. Especially when the other no longer wants it. Something he said to me last night finally stuck. "I dont want to be here anylonger, I'm just not feeling it, I am just unhappy and dont feel we are ever going to work!" he has said this to me multiple times in the past three months, but I never believed him. but it was something about the way he said it last night. With anguis and discuss anger and fustration, then something finally snapped in me and said" Shira, he really doesnt want you my dear, you need to snap out of this denial and began to move on heal! I think I was in denial for so long because alot of times his actions show me differently you know. 1. We still reside in the same place of residence. 2. we are still intimate from time to time at least once or twice a week. 3. he still tells me that he loves me. 4. he still spends time with me and does things for me. 5. for mothers day, he paid big money for me to pamper for a day at a swavy spa. 6. He still refers to me as his wife and still wears his wedding ring. 7....... the big kicker, he hasnt filed for divorce...Yet.But then there are times the words out of his mouth makes me feel as this is over. But then I start telling myself he is only saying those things because he is angry that I cut off all of his communication with the other woman, or because he is still in love with her, and is going through withdrawl. But then sometimes you have to be realistic and look at things for what they really are. Even if he is saying that to you because of these things, why would you even still want to be with him?

Isn't it odd the things we are able to justify or "take".  One breath you say --- well maybe he feels this way --- and then you say maybe it's just because I made him stop talking to his girlfriend.  Doesn't that sound kind of funny?  I did the EXACT same thing.  To actually wonder --- hmmmm....maybe he's just upset because I asked him to stop having sex with his girlfriend.  I'm sure he doesn't mean the other things he says - he's just upset because I took away his plaything. 
DU!  Then I thought what the heck???  I am giving him a pass because he is just sad about not getting to be with his girlfriend?  The FIRST time my husband did this - our relationship was exactly like yours - he didn't move out, we even shared the same bed, etc etc etc. 
THEN eight years later he does it again --- this time he moved out within days. 
But he still wants to be best friends and have it all.
It dawns on you suddenly - why would I want to be with a friend with someone who treats me with so much contempt?
I wish you peace and luck in making your decision.

GOOD FOR YOU! Now go do just for you. Live for yourself & your kids & let him fend for himself. And stop sleeping with him!!! If he has a girl friend & 2 good workable hands what does he need with the woman he dont WANT You are a package deal, if he don't want whats in your heart he shouldn't need whats between your legs,! Right?  You will find some one that wants you for you & only you. But heal your heart first. Deal with all that hurt and go be happy. I wish you all the happiness you deserve and a little extra!
