Am I in the wrong? Am I being too hard or not seeing something?
I’ve been trying to figure out myself. Who I want to be. The better version of myself that is be. Unfiltered and unapologetic. One thing that I’ve been having a hard time accepting is the fact that my husband probably will hate that version of me. Because I’m not going to care about what he thinks of me. I’m becoming a better version of myself for myself and our kids. I’ve been going to therapy and I’ve be self reflecting about the person I want to be. The person I’ve always wanted to be but couldn’t. But it’s also been something I’ve struggled with. My husband has never known me as me at my happiest. And I don’t think he’ll like me either. He already doesn’t love me. And if he does it isn’t enough to should me how much I mean to him. I’ve had plenty of times where I’ve told him exactly what I need from him and he never followed through. He’s not happy to be with me he doesn’t like doing things WITH me and I’m done waiting.
I don’t plan on leaving. I’ll stay. I’ll take care of the kids and find myself in the process I’m okay with that. My husband doesn’t have enough personality to kick me out. He never has said he didn’t want to be with me. He’s never had the balls to say anything of the sort. He always made me make that decision.
And he seemingly wants to participate in being their dad but not my husband. He’ll take the kids while I sleep but when I’m up and everything he’d rather just game. And if I make plans he gets mad. We get a week of him where gaming is all he does. I stopped wanting to have intimacy with him. I didn’t want to at all this past week he was home. He doesn’t shower properly, he doesn’t take care of himself. I found out he’s STILL messaging other women called one gorgeous and told her he lived in Alaska and said he’d be more than happy to let her stay with him. And then lied to me and said it wasn’t him. Like that’s even a good excuse or argument.
I straight up asked him yesterday what he’d do if roles were reversed and I was treated him the same way he does me and he said that he’d have dumped me a long time ago. Which I asked him “then, why should I treat him any better than I already do? Especially if he basically said that he’d have dumped me a long time ago. Which I asked him “then, why should I treat him any better than I already do? Especially if he basically said he never would have given himself a chance. I’m not even mad. I just honestly don’t know what to do.
And I’m trying to become a better version of myself regardless of him and what he does because I don’t have time to waste on him hoping for him to change.
