New to the forum. Need help with coping. Marriage in dire straights...
I'm having a hard time after 10+ years of my wife being ill. She can't and does nothing but put all her energy into her daily work schedule to get through a day. Which leaves her no energy to put into our marriage. 10 + yrs I have done all I could to make her feel comfortable and pain free day to day. I get nothing in return. I can't go on with the rest of our lives like this.
Fibromyalgia is just one ailment, there is severe depression, anxiety, IBS , sleep deprevation, gambling problems , threats of suiside. ... and more...for over 10 yrs I've done everything i possibly can to make her feel loved. I've lost my wife ,friend , companion and lover to a number of sicknesses.
My ultimate question to anyone willing to reply is : and truthfully , divorce is eminent as we have slipped away from each other , I physically and mentally am drained by all of it. I do not want to end our marriage with bad intent. But I honestly can't do any more for her if she is unwilling to put forth some energy into me. Without sounding selfish , I need companionship which she is unable and or unwilling to give. Im.stuggling to continue this marriage as it is no longer a normal life for her and me.
Help : suggestions, make me understand.
