How Did You Meet?
In High School, he was a friend of my sisters.
Describe your marriage before the problem.
Absolutely wonderful. True love at its best!
Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.
When he came home from the military and did nothing. Everything was on my shoulders, ie working fulltime, finishing my degree, cooking, cleaning. I felt like he lost the vision we both had and I was left to execute it by myself.
What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?
I hung in there, however, I was not the nicest person to him. He began to resent me, I began to resent him and he eventually fell out of love with me. I still hung in there, as I am still in love with him, but I became very fed up over the last couple of years. I was still interested in making it work, but he wasn't. He has been gone from the relationship for quite some time now and it took awhile for me to realize that and let it go.
