1. Doesn't take responsibility as head of the household
2. Doesn't wear his wedding ring
3. Doesn't go to church (he'd rather sleep)
4. Doesn't pray except if I say "let's pray" at mealtimes and then I'm the one who prays 'cause he doesn't want to.
5. Speaks very highly of and spends a lot of time with two particular women at work...goes out to lunch with one or the other almost daily.
6. Spends nearly all his time at work, sleeps and lays around at home.
7. Very mean and highly critical of me.
8. Very mean and highly critical of our 5 year old - I feel like I have to run interference.
9. Makes sure there's time and money for his pursuits but I haven't done or purchased anything for myself in over 5 years. I did buy lotions for myself at my birthday 2 years ago and I go to the salon for a good hair cut and style once every year or so.
Please tell me I'm not insane
JEN, you are not insane but you maybe if he keeps up the above activity and attitudes.
I am a man if were doing the above it would mean that my marriage is in trouble. Either I resent my life, my marriage, I feel trapped, or I am sinning against God and am not contented.
Your husbands refusal to stop having lunch with other women and refusing to have lunch with you is a HUGE red flag!!!
The title of your thread is Either I'm insane or something is going on
SOMETHING IS GOING ON!!
I highly recommend the book LOVE MUST BE TOUGH by James Dobson. I believe that book is very helpful in preventing a marriage from doing almost unrepairable damage. I think Joyful can comment on that book.
