A sad wife who feels lonely lately

I had a good relationship with my husband until my son was born. After that it has been down hill. It is certainly not from the lack of effort on my part. I have tried to make thing work. I am unsure if I can continue to keep things going like this. I have been married for about two years, one and half years have been complete hell for me. We have had sex less than 10 times in 6 months and I am done. He treats me like a maid at home. He expects me to listen to his orders all the time.I repent why did I even give up my phD degree for this jerk. He has no repect for me or my parents. I am seriously at the point where I am ready to get out. I don’t want to loose my son though. I need to figure out how I can move on.

    Have you told him how you feel? As cliche` as this sounds, communication is key. If you let him know how poorly you feel he is treating you and your family, and he continues with his behavior...maybe try marriage counseling. If your attempts still don't come through, I'd consider divorce. It's not good for you, or your son, to continue your marriage if your husband doesn't treat you and love you as an equal partner. As for your education, don't give up on that either. You can always re-apply and go back to school, it just may take a bit longer.
    Hoping that things work out for you all.

    Why would you lose your son? Sounds like this is all beyond repair so the only thing you can do is take your son and get out. Can you stay with your parents for a while?

      my situation is almost like yours, but here my wife is not willing to take her responsibilities. she was a model (not very popular) with very abusive life style (drugs and alcohol). i m afraid that these activities will affect or influenced our daughter in future.
      the only point of telling you that, i can understand your condition. you need a good companion some one who treat you like a princess, who can hold your hand and walk with you on soft sweet and wet beaches. because YOU ARE A MOTHER. most respectful, sweet and caring thing after god.

      and if you like to talk some some as a friend my email is [email protected]

    Why would you think you would lose your son? Here is what I would if I was in your shoes:
    1. Re-apply for the Ph.D or make new applications
    2. Save as much as possible
    3. Start looking for an apartment near the university you wanna attend
    4. Once you get the Ph.D admission or apartment, leave.

    I am a married man. I can confidently tell you that he is having an affair. I've had sex less than 5 times with my wife the last two years. But I have sex on a daily basis with other women. She also sleeps with a few other men. We put up with each other because no one else in the world can possibly put up with any of us.

      i totally agree with this! You need to start thinking of yourself and your son, imagine him growing up to treat a woman the way your husband is treating you? Or becoming a victom in a selfish relationship. Kids take what you do and learn from it, show him your independant and completed your goals in life so he knows he can too. You are strong, and you are worth more then this jerk has to offer! Good luck to you.

    Stop being lazy and please your husband. You need to stop thinking about yourself all the time. No wonder he won't fuck you. Have you lost your pregnancy weight yet or are you still eating bon bons?

    If he doesn't respect you, then you need to leave and find your own thing.

    TELL HIM that you're unhappy and you're thinking of leaving, but you aren't a quitter so you want to do everything you can do to make it work. His response may give you hope or it may give you closure. At least it's a step in the right direction. If he shows you hope, see a therapist together. If he shows you that it's truly over, get the fudge out with a swiftness. Oh, and don't ever play nice in a divorce. It's like taking a knife to a gun fight. IT ALWAYS GETS UGLY SO STRIKE FIRST.

    What a loaded question :S You've been married for 2 years but how long had you been together before that. Was the pregnancy a supprise? Did you guys talk it over and decided to go ahead with it or was it a "this is it and now we're stuck" situation. Weird how it's him not having sex with you... It's usually the other way around. Have you guys ever talked about how you'd want your lives to play out? Maybe you should have kept your phD. If he has no respect for your or your parents than maybe he's just pissed about the way his life is and is not how he wanted it? Ask him. You also need to consider what kind of life you'll be bringing your son into whether you leave him or not. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and good luck with it. If you've got a phD then you're probably a smart lady that could get a good paying career to support yourself and your son. Also ask yourself, what do you want your life to be like? Who do you want in it?

    Get out as soon as you can. You deserve to be happy in this life, as it is shorter than we think. I let my ex-husband steal nine years of my youth. I always thought it would get better, but he was an egomaniac and sociopath that refused to work on his issues. You will always find a way to make it. Do it for you, do it for your child. And one day an amazing thing will happen. You will actually be able to look back and say "I made it". Good luck to you. Be strong and don't let him knock down your self esteem.

    Sad wife, that is a painful situation to be in. I am a male in a sexless marriage (4 times last year). I was at my wit's end--frustrated, resentful, bitter, sad--and was searching for information, when I came across this place: http://www.experienceproject.com There is a group in there called "I Live in a Sexless Marriage" . It is populated by people, men and women, who know exactly what you're going through and are there themselves. I have drawn a great deal of comfort just from knowing that so many other people understand and can empathize with this issue. You may come across some difficult people or the occasional guy who is trolling for a pick up, but for the most part, people mean well and offer great insights. Good luck!

    It seems like something happens to married people. They lose their original attraction to each other. That's why I will never get married again. It's almost like a curse.

    Stop complaining, you are his wife so you should get off your lazy but and do something. When you have kids of course things change, but normal adult people live with it and work through it not run away. So you have a kid, take the lead and do what needs to be done. Ask him for some help while you are doing it in a nice way and be prepared for a no, if that is how he wants to answer.
