I'm so unhappy in my marriage. Raising the two SS man babies has spoiled what was a fantastic marriage. My wife allows totally unacceptable behavior from both SS's.
She no longer will listen to even a minor criticism of her beloved man babies. the oldest , 23 , just spent the last 5 months watching cartoons and smoking pot. He's a seasonal worker , so she says. Un fukkin believable. The younger one , 21 is self employed and works maybe three hours a week. He gets up at noon or later every single day. Its sickening.

My wife no longer respects me or my opinions. She has ruined everything.

I should leave , but I'm in my fifties and feel I wouldn't fair well on my own. Ive invested everything in this marriage.

Last year I expressed here that I hate my step sons and I still do. But I can add her to the list now. I'm in a marriage of convenience.

I'm in my 50s. I can introduce you to 10 friends of mine who are kind, responsible, generous, and single.

Don't let your age be an excuse to be miserable.

I'm 50 and my dh and I are preparing to separate because of his criminal man baby. Yes I'm sad but I'm actually looking forward to living the rest of my life in PEACE and free. Can you look at the future alone as a way to grow? To do things for yourself you could never do while with her? Why do you not think you would fare well?

This is really sad. You know, you should take up a sport. Try cycling. I started riding my bike since last year and since then have been doing social rides almost every week. Its fun, you get a great work out and you even meet people. There are people of all ages. Despite wanting to meet some one at least it should give you some alone time and be able to get your mind off the issue. The first step to change is taking up something positive. I have seen several single older women and men in the rides. Perks- The majority of the people are professionals.

If it were me, id start living my life like Im single and fuck what DW says...she doesnt respect what you say anyway...so move into the spare room and start going out and coming home when you feel like it. Dont tell her where (or who you are going out with)!!

She probably dosent think you have the balls to leave her anyway. So "stay" but "leave" her emotionally. Start doing things that make you happy!! BTW, Im 51 this year and look like im in my early 40's...dont give up on yourself!!
