My Husband Became a Stranger Overnight—After 17 Years and 5 Kids 😢

Seventeen years of marriage, five beautiful kids, and suddenly my husband acts like I’m invisible. One day, he just said I was holding him back, blaming my jealousy for everything going wrong. I never even argued when he stayed out late, but now even a gentle question is too much for him. He’s moved into our youngest’s room, barely talks to me, and only sticks around because it’s convenient. He’s working late, saving up to leave, while I’m left juggling the kids, bills, and debt alone. The loneliness is suffocating—I lie awake every night, terrified of what’s next. No family to lean on, no one to help—just me trying to hold it together for the kids. Have you ever felt your world crumble, but had to keep smiling for your children? If you’ve been through this, I’d love to hear how you survived. 💬 #MarriageStruggles #FamilyStress #SingleParentLife #FamilyRelationships

My Husband Became a Stranger Overnight—After 17 Years and 5 Kids 😢

My husband's assistant wants me to divorce him. When did they have this kind of relationship?🤡💔

So here’s the mess: I’m 27, my husband is 29, and his assistant—who’s also a family friend—just texted him, asking when he’s divorcing me. I only saw it because my Kindle broke and I’ve been using his iPad to read, which is synced to his phone. The texts? Brutal. She called me awful, blamed my pregnancy, and basically told him to leave me. He shut her down, but I’m furious and confused. This woman has always been sweet to my face! Now I’m stuck—do I confront her, him, or just pretend I never saw it? Why do we end up doubting each other, snooping, or crossing lines just to feel secure? I’m honestly at a loss. If you were me, what would you do? Please, tell me I’m not crazy for feeling this way. 😤🤯🤡 #TrustIssues #MarriageStruggles #RelationshipDrama #RomanticRelationships

My Husband's Jekyll & Hyde Act is Breaking Me 💔😰

I've been married for nearly a decade, and I'm at my breaking point 😭 My husband has always been the moody type, but lately it's gotten so much worse! He explodes over the tiniest things - a dish in the sink, a toy on the floor - anything sets him off 😤 I spend my days walking on eggshells, constantly cleaning our home in fear of his next outburst. The worst part? Everyone thinks he's this amazing guy! At family gatherings, friends always tell me how "lucky" I am 🙄 If only they knew the real him behind closed doors. Last week he broke down crying, admitting something was wrong, but he refuses counseling or talking to me about it. Whenever I try to discuss our relationship, he just snaps "then leave if you're not happy!" 💸 I'm losing myself in this marriage, but I still love him. Has anyone else dealt with a partner who's two completely different people? I really need someone to talk to who gets it 💕 #MarriageStruggles #ToxicRelationship #WalkingOnEggshells #FamilyRelationships

We have been together for 14 years and he said he cheated on me twice. I think there must be more.🤯💔

Fourteen years together—seven dating, seven married. I thought we had built something real. But one night in our New York apartment, I stumbled upon my husband’s phone in the bathroom. Thinking it was his daughter’s, I checked it. What I found shattered me: videos of him with another woman, in our bed, in a motel, all from the year before. I confronted him, and he confessed—just sex, just twice, he said. He begged for therapy, and I stayed. We moved, tried to start over. He’s more loving now, but every time the memories resurface, he gets angry at my mistrust. How can I just erase the betrayal? I want to be a mom, but can I trust him to be a father? Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind, doubting myself for doubting him. Am I wrong for feeling this way? What would you do if you were me? 😤😵‍💫🤷‍♀️ #TrustIssues #MarriageStruggles #Infidelity #RelationshipAdvice #EmotionalHealing #RomanticRelationships

Trapped in Marriage After Tragedy Changed My Husband 💔😰

Eleven years of marriage, three beautiful kids, and I thought we had it figured out. Then his uncle died six months ago, and everything fell apart 😢 My husband became a stranger overnight. The drinking escalated from weekend beers to daily binges. He admitted to using drugs - something I never imagined he'd touch. The man who used to share everything with me now shuts me out completely 💔 I'm drowning in loneliness while living with someone who's physically here but emotionally gone. Every weekend, hundreds of dollars disappear on alcohol while I'm left managing everything alone. I've tried leaving twice, but his tears and pleas always pull me back in 😪 I even considered creating a dating profile just so he'd catch me and end this misery himself - that's how desperate I've become. I know that sounds terrible, but I'm at my breaking point. Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship that's slowly killing your soul? How did you find the strength to choose yourself? I really need to hear from someone who understands 🥺 #MarriageStruggles #EmotionalAbuse #GriefAndMarriage #FamilyRelationships

My Husband Asked Permission to Sleep with Someone Else 💔😭

After 16 years of marriage and three kids, I've completely lost my desire for intimacy. Between exhaustion and what I suspect is early menopause, I just can't bring myself to want it anymore 😔 Every time feels like a chore, and my husband can tell. Last month, he sat me down and asked if he could find someone else "just for sex" since I'm clearly not interested anymore. He promised he'd still be a good father and husband otherwise. I felt so guilty that I almost said yes 😢 Yesterday, he told me he actually asked a coworker out! She turned him down because she's seeing someone, but now I feel like we're just roommates. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight and honestly don't know what to do. Has anyone else been through something like this? I feel so lost and could really use someone to talk to who understands 💕 #MarriageStruggles #DeadBedroom #RelationshipAdvice #FamilyRelationships

After I Overcame Depression, My Husband Drove Me Back Into It🤦‍♀️🍸

After 12 years of marriage, I thought we were finally healing. Therapy helped me climb out of depression and communicate better, and for a while, things felt hopeful. But one night at a friend’s house in snowy Colorado, my husband got aggressively drunk and humiliated me in front of everyone—just because I didn’t want to join the hot tub. He called me names, accused me of ruining the night, and wouldn’t let it go. The next day, he barely remembered and gave me a half-hearted apology. Since then, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not his priority, that all my hard work was for nothing. I’m angry, confused, and honestly, just exhausted. Is trust even possible after this? Or am I just fooling myself? Please, tell me—what would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤🥲🙃 #MarriageStruggles #TrustIssues #EmotionalAbuse #RelationshipAdvice #RomanticRelationships

My Husband Insults Me and Doesn’t Care Anymore! 😢💔

Lately, my marriage feels like a battlefield. My husband and I have been together for 9 years, running a small bakery in town and raising our two amazing kids. But now, every conversation turns into a fight. He doesn’t listen, and worse, he’s started insulting me—like he doesn’t even care about my feelings anymore. Last night, I finally snapped and told him not to talk to me or touch me again. His reaction? He just shrugged, like it didn’t matter at all. I begged him to work things out, but he said if I didn’t like it, I should leave—without my kids! I can’t imagine leaving my children with someone who seems so cold and comfortable with all this fighting. I feel so lost and alone. Has anyone else been through something like this? How did you handle it? Please share your stories—I really need someone to talk to right now. 💬 #MarriageStruggles #FamilyDrama #RelationshipAdvice #FamilyRelationships

Married Mom Crushing on Younger Guy - Am I Losing My Mind? 😵‍💫💔

Ladies, I need to get this off my chest because I'm going crazy! 😭 I'm a married mom of two, and my husband and I have been together for a decade. We're in couples therapy right now because honestly? The spark is just... gone. 💔 But here's where it gets messy - I've developed the biggest crush on this guy at the local coffee shop where I get my morning latte. He's probably mid-twenties (I'm pushing 40!), super charming, and has this amazing smile that makes my heart skip. 😍 I know he has a girlfriend, but sometimes I catch him looking at me in a way that makes me wonder... I feel like such a fool! Here I am, trying to save my marriage while fantasizing about this young guy who probably sees me as just another suburban mom. Should I focus on my husband or explore these feelings? Has anyone else been in this impossible situation? I'm so lost right now... 😔 #MarriageStruggles #MomLife #RelationshipAdvice #FamilyRelationships
