Is it really over for DH and me?

This morning I told my husband I wanted to move out...that I needed a break. For some reason this took him by surprise. He wants to talk tonight, and he promises to listen. What does that mean? I've had the same complaints for 7 years. Listening isn't the problem. It's the NOT doing what we talk about that is the problem.

I recently experienced my "last straw" and don't want to go back to the way things were. I'm sitting here trying to prepare a list of "talking points", but I keep drawing a blank.

They're not my kids!!

Going to counseling and DH keeps asking, "Is it normal that she doesn't consider them her kids, too?" HELLO! They are NOT my kids! When is he going to get this? His 3 kids do not constitute me having my own. Sorry for being selfish, but I still want my own kid, almost as much as I want to see skids' BM burn at the stake for being the horrible witch of a mother that she is.

Should I just cut my losses and leave?

I just exploded on my DH. I don't mean to hurt his feelings, but there is only so many of my feelings I can stuff before I explode. This is happening all too often, and I'm beginning to wonder how much longer I can last like this. I am 7 years into being a SM and have 7 more before the youngest graduates high school. I don't like being a SM. I don't like having to deal with a crazy BM. I don't like that I will never have kids of my own with the man I used to love fiercely. I don't like that I resent my DH and wish I never married a man with 3 kids.

Post Labor Day BM Labors

SS16 came back from his BM's house Labor Day weekend on Sunday. BM said she had plans on Monday with the other 2 kids, so she could not keep him the extra day. SS12 and SD10 come over to our house this weekend, and they let it slip that they went to iHop on Labor Day and then to see Despicable Me2 at the movies.

Really?? That is why BM wanted to bring SS16 to our house early.
