I am tired of trying

Have you ever felt this way in your marriage? I feel like I am all argued out. I have nothing else to give. I feel like all my hopes for my life in this marriage are gone based on what my husbands actions. We are working poor, sexless, and a lack of motivation couple. Before I met my husband I thought that I could take on the world but now I feel like I can bearly get through a day. I feel like he never listens to any ideas I have to help us get on top or he just waits until things are so bad then he does something. I resent this.

Sounds like you may also be depressed (and for good reasons). Please see your doctor; feeling like you cannot get through a day is no way to feel and there is lots of help. If you don't have insurance, try a free clinic. This is too serious to ignore.

I'm sorry you feel so down. Can you give us more detail/information? Our replies might be more helpful then.

I felt that way at one time in my life. Someone at that time told me something I found interesting and helpful.

~~~~The definition of insanity... to try something over and over expecting a different result.~~~

I say you should maybe find new ways to apporach your problems
if you want a different result.

Preso you are right in what you are saying. I have tried a totally different approach with my H and for the last week and a half he is a different person. He has finally listened to what I want and need. hope it lasts if not I am getting out of there. I am trying to be better with him as well.

I totally understand where you are coming from. My husband and I argue about everything... It is draining. I finally decided I didn't want to fight any more. Now we are fighting about the separation/divorce. I love him, but I resent so much that I get angry and bitter every time I try to talk to him. But then I cry because I wish it hadn't come to this.

Counseling may help if you think that there is hope. Unfortunately, it's not free. Compromise is important and learning how to communicate with each other. Often times assumptions are made, and this causes the problems and arguments.

Good luck.

once you are past the arguing stage you will talk but the tears run down your face still without really crying. If you want to stay married you will really need to try and sit down with no distractions and try. What about going out somewhere to sit and talk - it might be easier in a public place as neither of you would want to scream and shout. Try work out where it all went wrong.

Sometimes you do find that if one of you does something nice for the other that can be the start of it getting better.

I am really going through the same thing with my spouse. They think that I have just gone to the ground, really havent been motivated with my life, our marriage, trust, etc. I am trying really to fix things with our marriage. I dont know whats going to happen. I love her so much. She is also one that could take on the world, great wisdom , beautiful, personality is great. I resent the things the things that I ever did to hurt her. I miss her and love her dearly. She has been the only woman I have ever loved.
