I wouldn't leave if "ordered" to sleep on the couch. But sleeping separate is the start of a very bad precedent. It is a short step to leading separate lives and effectively ending the marriage.

When I gave up on our sex life I decided I would rather sleep alone but that was only once I decided my marriage was likely beyond repair.

Sleeping apart is a bridge you want to "close"............so you're sleeping together permanently.

You can only change yourself. You can't make your husband do anything, he has to WANT to. If he's shown you over time he doesn't WANT to, then you have a decision to make for your own peace of mind.

Your happiness is YOUR responsibility.

This problem is just as much your fault as it is his. It is a game... like tennis. Back and forth back and forth. Push and pull. At some point you need to do something about it.
I think you are really negaitve. You post rude puns and try to blame this one me. you obviously arent reading anyhting that i am posting. and another thing the post i made was for tips on how i can calm dow nbefore bed time and work throught it not judge me and what you think on my part instead of the overall situation.

I dont want ot have sex alot. I have said this a couple of times. i jsut dont want to give my self to someone who isnt going to understand me. I am not going to make sex and issue. It is supposes to be intamite and if i am not feeling like things are good between us then its a no go. But also if i still feel bad he is still always wanting to go! sheesh.

If what I'm saying is causing you to really think about your situation for what it is, then that's a good thing. Your marriage and the sum of your relationship is NOT all your husband's doing. You can be upset and angry at him and blame him for your misery, but the truth is, you continue to live in it. That's your choice to do so.

You shouldn't be getting that angry all the time. It's not good for either of you. Physically and emotionally over time, it's destructive to go on like this. The anger is a symptom, not the problem. Fix the problem and the symptoms will go away.

I can't imagine how awful one would feel hearing their spouse tell them to sleep somewhere else/on the touch because they can't stand to be near you. That's terrible.

Its not terrible. YOu ask for it you get it. I dont feel sorry for not wanting to be around him when he isnt going to compromise tell the truth and act like im part of his life. sorry!

Well, I do not mean this in a sarcastic manner, nor do I want to insult you. I hear you saying that talking to your husband gets you no response. Nothing gets resolved. You don't count. You don't matter.

If that is the case, why not consider moving your bed elsewhere? Like into your own apartment. (And that is not meant as a joke.)

Heck, if you are this miserable, then just forget the separate-sleeping arrangement and go for a separate-living arrangement.

YES I KNOW ITS NOT ALL HIS DOING. I am not thinking about a situation i have already been thinking about for days due to something you posted on here. I dont blame him for my misery, i am not miserable just pissed off. but i do blame him for not trying to be part of my life and being here with his family and not acting like i should be first in his life instead of last. The anger is ridiculous i dont want to feel angry. I just want for him to realize its not his way or the highway its supposed to be us both everything sticks to us both. gosh. im so annoyed.

You want what you want (which doesn't sound unreasonable).

He either doesn't care, or doesn't want to change or both. Now what?

So you had one rejection and now you are going to permanently sit back and be resentful?
