Wishy,
Sorry to hear about the painful situation that you are in right now. Could it be possible that after some therapy your relationship might change and there might really be love from him? I'm just thinking about how complicated human emotions are and how unreliable they can be. We can feel love, then not feel it and truly believe we never did (when we really did!) and then we can feel love again and realize it never left... Maybe just a little more time before deciding it's time to end the relationship. Either way, I hope things work out for you and that your pain fades away and life looks good again for you. I personally dont think you should stay in a relationship when you are not receiving love you want / need, just make sure you've waited it out as long as it needs.I feel rotten because my 28 year marriage is ending - because I don't love my husband. It killed me to tell him that and I keep playing over in my mind the look of pain on his face when we talked. I've tried every way I know how, but he had affairs and I lost trust and love for him. So, I'm very sorry for your situation. I think I know a little of what it feels like.
Joni
