Alcoholic, Workaholic, not a great dad, but 18 yrs invested

workaholic
~jaded~ asked:


I dont think I am in love with my husband anymore and have felt that way for several yrs. But I thought it was best for the children to stay together. He is not abusive and a great financial provider. But emotionally and physically he is a stranger to us. I am afraid that once the children are gone there will be no reason to stay, and then I will be old and have wasted my youth on him. Should I stay?

Also - he is a career military man with 17 yrs in and I only have 3 yrs left till he is vested. But I have emotionally checked out already.

    If you are positive you are done, then end it. If you think that if he tried to change that it would work, its worth discussing it with him. Does he know how you feel at this point? Maybe if he knew where you stood, he would change. Good luck!
