darkmoon Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) well if you have been married 37 years he must be no younger than 57 - the age of *cough* bald spots and paunches i mean not many women would fancy him - none in fact stop having the miserable conversations you describe - they could drive a body round the bend you are seeing him thru the rose-tinted glasses of love hopefully your cooking sex and a quiet/er life will help, note that he hasn't actually left you Edited February 22, 2012 by darkmoon Link to post Share on other sites

darkmoon Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) look, from what i can make out many men like a well-run home, big man-sized dinners and they like sex too - what's not to hang around for? i think he is sentimental to you by what you wrote even if he is like he his, bad sometimes, sooner or later he will see you as probably good to know as a dutiful kindly smiley useful woman - wouldn't you? do not talk about your fears to him because it is not a subject he likes, sooner or later the talking like this has to stop it's too heavy pracise your smile on the mirror to counteract this buy some steaks give him a big dinner wait on him a bit = best behaviour and be useful nt to shock you but honestly if he leaves he must become aware that you are offering a pretty good deal, forever because you are useful, even part time - but forever - i have known couples like this - but he cuddles you which is good news men like women who wait on them Edited February 22, 2012 by darkmoon Link to post Share on other sites
Author Ecila59 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 He don't read what I wrote remember he hurt me not me hurting him he keeps saying he got no feeling for me.

pteromom Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm a little confused about this whole thread. I think you deserve to be loved. If your husband has no feelings for you, just continuing to have sex and make him dinners isn't going to solve the issue. You need to go back to your husband and talk to him about this. Tell him that you can't quit thinking about him saying that he has no feelings for you. Tell him that you need to start doing something to grow the feelings back, or if that isn't possible, you need to talk about what to do about it, because you don't want to be married to someone who doesn't care for you. Don't waste your life serving a man who doesn't love you. That is crazy nonsense! And to answer your question - yes, of COURSE someone can stay with and have sex with someone they don't love. Why wouldn't he stay? He gets sex and someone to take care of the house and whatever else you provide. What's his incentive to leave? NONE. It doesn't mean that's the best situation for YOU though. You deserve to be cherished. Link to post Share on other sites

ascendotum Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) I was also a bit confused reading this OP. I read where your husband hasn't got feelings for you a number of times, but I also read... "i had no feelings for him before i didnt care about him i didnt want to leave him i didnt tell him that i had no feeling for him i told him lately he said i should of told him it would of made it easy for us to go our seperate ways" + "because i pushed him away because he wanted sex ,now i want to save our marriage we have sex". So it seems to me, for most of the marriage you did not really love your husband, and made him suck up to you to have sex but not that often., and he probably instigated it less and less over the years and started to resent you. You confessed this to him at the start of the year, and he pretty much said the same thing back to you. What are you complaining about!, He just said back what you have been feeling for years yourself. Now you crap yourself he might leave you, so you cry & say you love him now & turn on the sex tap, to keep him. You left it a bit ****ing late, but at least you are happy again in your last post. I guess at his age its too much hassle to walk out door and try find love again. Sounds like you got together because you were both a little desperate to be married. Too bad you didn't confess this to him 35 yrs ago, then he could have left (as he said) and you both would have found more fulfilling relationships.
