Don't know if I wanna go through with this wedding...CRAZY UPDATE

Original post by Mmnnng

Ok so here's my quick story...

My FH and I have been together for 7 years (secretly married for 2) and I'm just not sure I can go through with another wedding. He used to be a great man, but he fell into a very lucrative career and money has changed him into something awful. I thought I was overreacting until this weekend when he went away and I had time to think.

He promised me years ago he would adopt my children, but yet whenever its brought up, he ignores me or says he's not ready. He is completely uncapable of displaying emotions. If I am upset and need to talk, he doesn't know how to listen, but rather is tells me how stressed he is about his job and I don't know what stress is.

Pastor April sent me a copy of the ceremony and I was thinking...holy crap its all a lie! It sounds beautiful and wonderful but it isn't true and even though I would like the words to mean something to him, I don't think he is able to comprehend them. He really has no clue how to process emotion. I know it is so late for me to be thinking of this, but I watched my mother suffer in a one sided marriage for years and don't want to end up like her. I thought that when we got married the first time, we would all become a family but I still feel like its me and my children on on side and him on another. I don't know if I can feel like this forever.

I had a convo with him about this many times and he says he'll change, he'll go to speak to someone, but he never follows through and then blames me for it. Says I should've made the appointment or whatever...HELLO?? I am asking you do to this for me. Thats all I ask of him. His only job in life is to go to work, he does nothing around this house or anything like that....he lives on his own schedule, not on our family's.

So the other night we started talking on the phoen about all of this and I tell him that I am not sure about it anymore and blah blah blah....he turns around and blames the fact that I saw my ex at a funeral a few days before!! Wants to know what I said to him, what happend, ect...I was at a freaking funeral not a party! So obviously he has a way of turning everything around on me. So we continue talking and I basically say that I don't know if I can do this anymore and I don't feel fufilled, ect. And he tells me he is in shell shock and can't believe it.....THEN... yesterday his flight was cancelled and the only thing he said all day was how he had to get home to get to the office...not how he needed to come home and talk with me and work things out with me or any thing like that!

I am so hurt and confused and I just needed to write this all down! Thanks ladies! I really had that 'he's gonna change' theory in my head like a fool and I just don't think he can....I dont' know what to do!

I think counseling will be the determining factor here. The sooner you do it the better. If you can compromise and grow from the sessions, then you will feel SOOO much better. If you really cant get to the next step together, then you will have to decide what path you want to take.

I am considering counseling as well. My problems revolve around my future in laws, and its going to tear us apart. I feel for you!

Sorry you are going through this.... You need to do what makes you happy. If he no longer makes you happy then you shouldn't go through with a wedding, but you have to listen to your heart. Are you willing to sacrifice what you want to be with him?
Before the wedding it is normal to be stressed, especially what you are going through on top of planning this wedding. It sounds like he needs to sit down listen and not be so judgemental.
Good Luck!!!!

If you really want to give it a shot, YOU need to make the counseling appointment and tell him to show up for it. Don't wait for him to do it.


Absolutely.

If he's not willing to go with you, I urge you to go by yourself. GL.

Thanks so much everyone....it really means a lot that you are all there! I dont' really know where else to turn to get unbiased opinions or input....

Don't worry Davenjess.. I'm here, left for work for a bit, but I'm ok...thanks so much for everything!

He got stuck in NC again until tomorrow so I guess tomorrow is my D-day...I will be back with anything new....right now I am so emotionally exhusted to continue typing



First off I am sorry you are going through this. It is tough when you are in a relationship with someone who cannot give you the emotional loving support that you need. I truly am sorry and I agree with what all the other girls have written about going with your gut feeling. You deserve to be in a relationship with someone who loves you and wants to be with you and looks forward to coming home to you and your daughters.

I hope that you and FH can work things out. I would defintely hold off on the wedding and go to couples counseling. If he does not want to go, I recommend you going for yourself. I was in a bad relationship for years and decided to get myself into therapy and it only made me stronger and a better person and I was able to walk away after years of not being happy. I cannot tell you how much higher my self esteem is and how much more happy I am now that I am with a person who loves me and wants to be with me.

I am sending you many and .

Like I said, I hope you two are able to work it out but if not that does not make you less of a person. What hurts you can only make you stronger.

Good luck and keep us posted.

i know everyone has written already, but i want to say too that i am SO so sorry that you are going through all of this....and at the same time i have so much respect for you realizing this and having the guts to do what you know is right. So many people settle for things & stay in situations that are in their comfort zone....for you to realize this and know in your heart what you should do takes an INCREDIBLE amount of strength. God will grant u grace, peace & endurance to hold your head high & move forward to an amazing future whatever the outcome may be!!!! please keep us updated...we are all here for you!!! Follow your heart and all your words will come out right!!

Thanks everyone....I'm feeling a little better today. What a mess my life is!

Ok so as far as the accident heres what happened:

I was on Southern State heading towards LGA and everyone in front of me slowed down and stopped due to DOT vechicles entering the road...I stopped when I saw everyone else stopped in front of me...well then...I took a look in my rearview and saw this lady coming full speed ahead. She hit her brakes at the very last second and needless to say never stopped on time. Her entire car was totaled thats how hard she hit me.

Luckily for me I drive a big truck because my girls were with me and they would've been in big trouble in a car. They both have minor concussions and I am in a brace from my butt to my head. I can't believe everything that can happen in one week!

On to the FH...Well on Sun while he was still away we had a chat and i told him how I feel about everything and now he is home and its like there is a pink elephant in the room that no one is talking about! He was sleeping when I came home from the hospital so that def. didn't help! And I've been stranded on the couch for the last 2 days and he hasn't been much help. I'm gonna have a talk with him today and see how it goes.

Wish me luck!

Thanks again everyone you are all so wonderful! I feel like I have 100 of my bestfriends around me with out all the bickering...lol! Thanks again!
