A female United States age , anonymous writes:

Hi

I am the mother of 7 children ranging from the ages of 30 to 8 years old. About 14 years ago I met my husband. I was a devout christian woman with 4 children then. I abstained from a relationship for about 10 years. Then I found myself going in a spiral downward I lost my job and my home. I had to move in a bad neighborhood where I met my husband. To make a long story short I fell from grace with him and ended up pregnant.We now have 3 children together.Lately he has been acting unhappy. I asked him what is the matter he told me he don't love me and he don't want to be here anymore but he want to do the right thing by me and the children by trying to make it work what should I do?

Honeygirl agony auntGive him the option of leaving, if he doesnt want to leave 'because of the children' then he must amend his behaviour so that it will not affect the rest of the family.

thatgothgirl20 agony auntLet him go. If the children observe the behaviors that he exhibits while being married to you and not in love with you, they will think that these behaviors are typical of a "normal" marriage and possibly spread it to their own marriages when they grow up, not realizing they are displaying signs of NOT loving someone.

I think if he doesnt love you anymore then you should ask him to leave. Tell him he can do right by the children by paying child support and alimony and keeping up on his visitations. You dont need someone in your life who isnt going to love you. Eventually you two will grow to resent each other. And you deserve better! Please, have more respect for yourself! I wish you luck...J

niki20 agony auntthe vest thing for you is to do what makes you happy, you cant be sad in anyway bc children pick up on that. if you can not be happy, then the children wont be able to be as happy as theg should, granted their father not being there will be hard but you need to think about what is better for everybody.
