An Unhealthy Relationship: Unhealthy Relationships

» Tobyone - Unhealthy Relationships

I too have been in many unhealthy relationships. I have been able to get out of all of them except one.

For the past 23 years I have been married to a man who is not good for me. The problem is that he is a good person, but we are so different that our daily life is misery. Every interaction is difficult and sometimes painful. I would not know what life is like without a constant knot of fear in my stomach over him. He has an explosive temper and I never know what will set him off. He is not physically violent, but the way he talks to people makes me sick.

I have left him three times but always come back because of the guilt I feel. He is so dependent on me emotionally that I feel he will fall apart without me. If I was not married to him, I would not chose him as a friend. To make matters worse I am now disabled and am dependent on him for everything.

I pray every night that he will find another woman and leave me then I would not be hurting him. I love him as a part of my family but any romantic feelings I had towards him have died because of his behavior.

Sorry this is so long, but I had to get this off my chest. Thanks.
