I Am Craving Physical Contact

I have been married for 14 years. It's hard to admit sometimes, but me husband and I didn't make a wise decision, probably, when we married. We were too young. After endless conflicts, our marriage is officially death. Sometimes I think I'm just hanging on because of my son, he's 13 now, and he loves his father and I know a divorce or a separation would hurt him. I choose to stay standing even though my husband doesn't care for me anymore. I wish he was closer to me. I've tried many times to change things, try new things, but it's useless. Don't know what else to do. I think I have to accept what I got and try to be as happy as I could be.

If it's any consolation, divorce statistics prove that there are a [b]lot[/b] of people besides you and your husband that "didn't make a wise decision".
If you can hold on til your son is old enough to better cope with a divorce, then hold on but kids CAN sense unhappiness too. He might already be hurting.
I agree with what @RealMustangGuy said about joining a group specifically for these things but be careful..."ILIASM" groups are full of opportunists looking for vulnerable lonely "victims" to hit on as well.

Whatever you decide to do I wish you the best.

Thank you all for your kind words. It's a great thing to know that there are people outside sharing my situation. This encourages me to keep on going and hopefully one day, things might change for good. Thanks deeply.

There are no easy answers, but there are many people sharing your situation. SW is a great site, and I would encourage you to seek answers, advice, and friendship here to help you decide what to do.

But you may also want to join a free forum dedicated solely to these kinds of issues. A site whose sole purpose is helping people just like you. And like me which is how I know of it. That is the "ILIASM Forum." Google that and it will come right up. You can read their introduction to see if you think you might want to join.
i was marred for 18 years and after 14 it went down hill fast i only stayed for the last 4 years to bring up the kids a bit more and then i left

Both need to want to change for things to change. One sided change doesn't work. One day you will need to go your own way if you want happiness again.

Every marriage has its moments. They all get better and worse at times. Maybe yours will eventually get better??
