Is it possible to live with your partner without communicating?

@PoetryNEmotion I didn’t sit in the same room as my ex. The only time he spoke to me was when he wanted something or to yell at me. That’s a total nightmare. A woman is better off living with a pet then a vile human like that.

@SW-User I am glad you are free from such a horrible partner.

@JustNik Her soul is already dying....

@DeWayfarer Sometimes opposites are not good for one another. I find that mostly people partner with those who have the qualities the other wishes one had. So a quiet person finds an outgoing person. Sometimes they cannot adjust. It is just the way relationships go. You try. You either like or do not like. Cripes. I am still dating. If I find suitable ones. Have a good weekend. I am on nights.

@PoetryNEmotion I agree with you. I am a quiet person and my husband is very talkative. I think you're correct when you say that sometimes opposites are not good for one another. I married at 19 and 37 yrs.later we're still married but I'm not so sure that we were ever compatible. I don't know 😕

@DemureDeb Many people get together when young. Over the years people change. They fo not always grow together. It is not unusual. How msny prople who have been together ten years or twenty or thirty actually love one another? Few I will bet. Many stay together because of the length of years in the same dpace. I ask you is this kind of unhappy, unsatisfying union healthy? Is it toxic? It is the devil you know. I divorced him after 3 decades. So happy now. No more toxicity. No more each day in hell. No more crying myself to sleep on the edge of the bed. He is still s mess and toxic only with domeone else. I am singlr. Still searching for a partner. But happy. No fear of anger. No uncertainty. Happy. I deserve real lasting love. Respect. So do you.

@IM5688 You will not leave. You prefer this to being single. It is on you then.

@PoetryNEmotion I believe that we do love each other, (I know I love her,) but her culture is not known for being affectionate or showing affection. While I do miss the physical affection, she does take good care of me and looks after my well being.

@IM5688 You keep saying that. Repeating it. Who are you trying to convince?

@plasticpants02 Can you survive the way you are until you draw your last breath upon this planet? I said jo. I deserve the finest love. So I freed myself. One of the best decisions of my life. I hear you are tired. You wonder about what happens after? It is peace. Happiness. Joy. Freedom. Do you want that?

@PoetryNEmotion i want that more than anything right now. Just relax and enjoy my kids and life. Part of me feels bad for my wife. Doesn't work, no license. She would be on welfare. If she had of had an affair or something it would be somuch easier

@plasticpants02 She may be satified the way things are. It is comfortable for her. Is it for you for the rest of your long life? Refusers feel they have the power point. They count upon your guilt. Your feelings of fairness. What you endure is not fair. It is not right. It is your life. Choose wisely. Choose yourself.

@Sunnyday You could have backed out then. Disrespect is what you let him fo to you. He is undesirable. Why did you stay?

@PoetryNEmotion my son, 3 at the time, fell in love with him. His real dad lives half across the country and has only seen him 2-3 times. This man is like a father to him. He is really good to him. That’s the only reason I’m staying.

@Sunnyday Yet you are teaching your son how a marriage is not to be. Is that proper? One should never deny respect nor common courtesy. You will regret what is taught. This is not good.

@deadgerbil
No… my son loves him too much and this man is good to my son. I feel that’s enough to stay

@Sunnyday
Joint custody is possible, no? Children are not blind nor stupid. He will see your unhappiness and I suspect it will cause him concern.
