Our 7th anniversary is coming up. Everytime it gets close I am forced to think about how unhappy I am in the relationship, and how paralyzed I am financially from leaving it. Nothing bad (no abuse, etc.) but just a bad, bad match. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

ok but maybe you are expecting him to meet needs you can or should be able to have met in some other way. My point is that no one is a perfect match. He does not exist. Maybe someone else would be a better match or maybe not. You are in this marriage, I assume with dcs, and should do everything you can to make it work.
