I have been having a deep ponder. and have known for many many yrs that I have no feelings for my DH (I use the term "dear" loosely) I have stayed, out of loyalty and of course feel sorry for him, and also it seemed to much trouble to leave, especialy over the last 10 yrs as we paid up our mortgage and I wasn't for giving up my house and having to uproot etc, it seemed easier to stay.I have no love for him anymore and havn't had for many many yrs, (by the way there is no one else involved) couldn't be bothered, not that there has been a chance lol)
Perhaps it is becuase he is a lot older me nearly 57 and he 77 and seems to have been ill for decades, he is in frail health but is up and about able to potter round the house and garden etc. but we have to tread on eggshells most of the time. He is not a bad person, but the last 15 yrs or so has been a strain. I now just feel like this old man is living with me and I am his carer sort of, I can't bare to be near him, I have to put dressings on him sometimes as he has lost so ,much weight he is skin and bone and sometimes develops skin sores.
Has anyone been in the same situation, is! anyone in the same situation I do feel guilty but everyone says I have looked after him and spoilt him and given in to him.
I am not looking for sympathy, just wondering if anyone else is in the same situation. ohh yes I can still keep smiling!
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
