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!

Thank everyone....its just all insane! I told him I was going to the hospital and what hospital when his plane landed then I had no chance to call him....I kinda assumed he would've just came straight from the airport to the hospital. When I called him later on he asked if I wanted him to come up and honestly by that time I didn't. My mother was already there and I was upset enough that he asked if he should come or not. Mom took me and the girls home from the hospital and he was sleeping....blames it on the xanax he took before the plane ride. I don't care what he took...I WOULD'VE NEVER FALLEN ASLEEP! He took m to my Lawyers office today and got us lunch but I just woke up a few mnutes ago to find him @ his Softball game....
I'm definetly hurt. I taked to him and he said he wanted a solution right there and then and I didn't know what to say. He says I guess we should ty couselling and then he walked back upstairs to watch the Yankees....
I am sure this is his way of trying, like a said before, its not that he's abad person, he is who he is and unfortunatley I thought I could change that.
I'm learning slowly that surely I cannot.
Ladies, you rock....thank you for everything and sorry if I haven't replied to all the FM...I am just so tired lately...
we love you.. you get some rest and come back to us when you can. you'll always have us

I am so sorry you are going through this. Take the time to process how you feel. If he is not repsonding positively to your concerns now, he may never. You don't want to miserable or regretful, because you will only hurt yourself and your child if you stay in a bad marriage. You are so smart to realize these things now. It is never too late.
Good luck

hi... i know im intruding... but i just have to say that i agree with all of these girls. NEVER settle for less than what you are worth, because while you're settling for this guy, your perfect guy is settling for someone he's not worth either, and now neither of you get to be with the right person.
In all honesty, and it has to be honesty because i dont know you to tell you otherwise... you need to find someone who loves you for you, who respects you and your children, AND who cares enough about you to drink some coffee and stay awake when you get home from the hospital after a horrible car crash.
money changes people... it always does...
although money cant buy love, it can buy divorces.
get out of this situation while you still can... good luck to you.

I sending big hugs and kisses your way...
You have awesome strength to realize this now, Although you are already married I would def. postpone this wedding on behalf of the way you feel also your guests.
As far as him sleeping, he should have been with you - you never know what tomorrow brings that is why you have to live today as if it were your last.
You are beautiful!!!! you deserve someone who will love you unconditional and fulfill your every need, emotion, desire, dreams as well as your daughters!
There is someone for everyone, and from what I read I don't think he is the one for you, but only you know in your heart if this is what you really want for the rest of your life.
As far as the adoption, if he was commited and in this for life he wouldn't have thought twice but to make your family his own.
Girl - all I'm saying is think long and good, there is a saying that my life revolves around and I hopeit helps you too...have faith and if God brings you to it, he will get you through it. We are all here for you and I wish you the best in your decision...I would love to see you one here again, happy and so excited to get married! Here's to you and finding your prince charming <3

You have to realize that you are far too good a person to deal with this & him. The fact that he was sleeping is not nice. I took two xanax today & didn't fall asleep at all...especially if i was worrying about a loved one.
I think you need to be happy that you haven't had the huge wedding yet & you can back out gracefully... No one but us gals know you are already married - so no one will think poorly of you.
We are thinking of you - please know we are all here for you!!!!!!

Re: Don't know if I wanna go through with this wedding...CRAZY UPDATE
oh my gosh, i dont know the whole situation but i have to agree that his actions after the accident speak for themselves. this is not how a man who loves his wife and children would act is they were in danger. His family should be everything he works and lives for and for this to be threatened and for him not to have any type of protective instinct disgusts me. please, do not marry this man, it will hurt the children terribly in the long run if you marry and inevitably get divorced after this behavior continues. i dont want to be harsh, but if you can protect your children from the instability and confusion that divorce brings, please do.
edited because i just realized you are already legally married and i can only imagine how hard this must be...you need to find a way to be able to survive on your own, easier said then done. once he sees that you dont necessarily 'need' him anymore, then maybe he will realize everything he stands to lose. im so sorry you have to go through this

I'm off to the chiropractor to check out my back....what a pain this is and the timing couldn't' be worse! I talked with him last night and he says he'll try counselling but I keep thinking that there are too many aspects that need to change in order for me to be completely happy. I don't know this is the hardest thing ever!
