The story

It just hurts so much, when I got married thought it would be a forever thing. Now sitting alone, in an empty house, just hurting, angry, guilty, lonely.

Me and my now ex husband met online, neither of us looking for anyone. He had just separated from his 1st wife, and me really not needing the drama of a relationship. We chatted for a few years, then finally met up. He lived in another state, and even then we weren't offical another couple of years. Dated for a year, engaged a year, and a little over a decade of marriage all over red rover.

Before we got married I asked him if he was gay, there were "red flags", but he assured me he was not. Decade of practically sexless marriage, saying that he wanted children but always finding reasons to not do what you need to get them.

I'm such a stupid pathetic girl, I can't be mad at him for who he is, but I am so angry. He is out fucking anything with a penis, but faked heart attacks, asma attacks, etc when all i wanted was a baby he said he wanted too.

I'm trying to be happy and perky for those around me, cause people really don't want to hear it.

I've been too ashamed to speak to anyone for many years about what has been happening. it's hence sharing hear.

i know.you are mad right now but it is better to be separated from him because it wont bring you happiness to be with him any longer. i understand you are mad. but in the long run, you will be thankful of this experience and will have moved on. be free and happy.

really feel for your situation; it's tough when things don't pan out as expected. "Life ain't always what it seems to be," as people say, and your experience highlights that. living with false pretenses for so long must have been exhausting. it's understandable to feel a mix of emotions when your partner's true self breaks the surface. your honesty in sharing is brave and might offer some relief. they say "when it rains, it pours," and you're facing that storm head-on. stay strong; better days are ahead. 🌧️
