I regret that our marriage has come to this….
I regret that our marriage has come to this, that you cannot talk to me, that you avoid me, leave the room when I enter. I regret not finding a way to reach you — I tried words, I tried love, I tried anger but you are silent. I regret that I am trapped. I regret that I am even here but I can’t leave my children. I regret wishing I could become fatally ill so I could leave this world with dignity and release myself from this loveless life of boredom and sadness.

You aren’t trapped. It’s better to leave him, get a divorce, than subject your kids to a loveless, lifeless home. If you and your husband are happier, they will be happier. It will be a tough process but eventually things will improve, and you won’t have to wish for an early demise. What’s dead here is your hope, your self-love, your fight. If you can’t save the marriage, save you. Start today.
