I'll try to make this as short as possible!
My husband and I have been married for two very hard years, but have been together for six years all together. We started dating when I was 15, he was 18. I became pregnant at the young age of 17. Before all of this there was already signs of an unhealthy relationship. We had both cheated on each other which led to severe trust issues. But after our son was born we moved in with each other, and it seemed like things were getting better. *I also want to add an incident when I had a "friend" over once (there was drinking involved) but while I was in the restroom apparently they had kissed and he had the nerve to invite her to OUR bedroom !! (I took his side over hers, and I think my son had a lot to w/ it).* We got married two years later after our son was born, when I was 19 and he was 22. After a wonderful honeymoon to Ireland, things were actually looking good. But 5 months later our beautiful son became sick, and was diagnosed with Leukemia. This was very (and still is) extremely hard on both of us, in our own ways. A few weeks after he was diagnosed I was surfing the internet and found out my husband had been looking at a singles website and other inappropriate contentographic sites. I confronted him and he assured me that he was not cheating on me, and he was only looking out of curiosity . It's been over a year now, and he hasn't done anything like the above (that I know of). So this brings us to now. We both our still young, Im 21 he's 24, but obviously we have been through A LOT more than an average couple ever will. Since being together at the very young age of 15 I feel like I have changed tremendously. I have grown physically mentally and spiritually. And I feel like my husband has matured a lot, but that's about it. He's still the same person really. He still rides his BMX bike with his immature friends, still into the same exact things. So basically you could say I"ve lost him somewhere in the pass couple years. I feel like I don't get the support I would like etc. We're just not into the same things anymore. I'm not that high school girl that found skateboards and bikes (for instance) attractive anymore. This is really hard for me to say this but...I can't help but wonder if there is someone else out there better for me.
But I couldn't imagine leaving him with what we're going through with our son at the moment. I couldn't do that to my little boy. How do I know if it's going to continue to be like this, or just get worse. My career choice isn't the best either, I'm going to school to be a paramedic which I know is a very demanding and draining career. How will that effect our relationship? Obviously I have a lot on my mind, thanks for letting me rant i'm sure I could go on and on
