Marriage Woes. Any advice would be great.?

I've been married to my wife for over 15 years. We both work and many years ago she decided she wouldn't help pay the bills and spend her paycheck on herself. To make ends meet I started driving a truck which puts me away from the house a lot and she hates it. I've tried to talk to her about why she refuses to help financially but won't give me an answer and changes the subject to other things.


For the last eight years we've slept in separate rooms. And, when I'm home she spends all her time in her bedroom watching TV alone.


I'm done and ready to move on. What do you people think?Marriage Woes. Any advice would be great.?
I think you're a fool for staying that long, putting up with that much sh*t, and then asking other people what they think. Grow a pair, dude. The world's a waiting. There are thousands of fine women out there that will be GREAT partners to you. Time is wasting!Marriage Woes. Any advice would be great.?
It seems you have a very selfish wife and she had effectively abandoned you the day she moved to a separate bed room.





Tell her you still love her and want to put right the things that make her unhappy. If she refuses to talk, ask her to go with you for counseling. If she still refuses, you will have to see a divorce lawyer.
That is really sad you have been sleeping in separate rooms for 8yrs!


Sounds like it was over along time ago.


As for the income and her unwillingness to help is also very odd and wrong.There would have to be alot of changing on her part in order to make it work but it dose not sound good.
Man,


That is no life. How old are you? You've probably got years of potential passion and love ahead. Move on. You're being taken for a ride and I don't mean by your TRUCK!


She left you long ago-wake up and smell the coffee-make tracks dude.


Roll On Out!
dood you shoulda moved on 10 years ago.





give her an ultimatum. if she still loves you tell her to put herself in shape and start contributing to your household.





and if she won't tell her bye bye baby!!





that is totally unfair to you!
Looks like you guys need to go see a marriage counsler and if she doesn't want to go, go yourself. You need some professional help, Is divorce a possibilty? You may want to start looking around for a divorce attorney. Sorry.
Sounds to me like you were done eight years ago and


are just now realizing it.
Yes you should move on because it sounds like she already did.
Why did you agree to her not helping out with bills? You've been a pushover for the last eight years. Yes, get out now.
Sounds like it sucks to be you, what are you going to do about it?
you guys need counseling
a little late but better late than never.

I think you need to pressure her into tallking to you and understanding why all this is happening, and if not suggest counseling. It seems there is lack of communication between you two, so that`s what you need to work on. Moving on is not an option when you can resolve this just by opening up. It be easy for me to say, yeah, move on, don`t even bother...but 15 years is a long time and all your energy spent shouldn`t be worthless. Your problem could be worse, like either of you having an illness or something as tragic as that. I think you should work on your marriage to make it work and work as hard as possible. Many people here might suggest you moving on because in these days, it seems that`s the only solution. People don`t want to work on their marriages, it it easier to divorce or separate, but these are immature people who want it easy, and marriage is not easy. Nothing is, but until you haven`t tried all options, you should not give up.
yeah, she's done too. sounds like she moved on eight years ago. look, you're the man...if you didn't like the way things were going you should have stepped up as leader of the home and decided where the money would go if it's putting you out working a second jobs to make ends meet. that's just rediculous. seems like this woman must have had a really bad example of what marriage is growing up. does she have another man on the side? ask her if she wants you to have another woman on the side since she seems to take no interest what so ever in you. don't actually have an affair or anything close though. be sure to break it off respectfully with her first and without any bitterness or resentment against her and then start dating again. good luck!
