In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane offers advice to two women who are struggling with their husbands' issues.
By Annie Lane | creators.comAfter 45 years of what I thought was a loving and happy marriage, my husband told me he “is not in love with me” or “attracted to me” and “does not want to be with” me anymore.
During this year, I was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I couldn’t walk or hike as much as they could on the trip, and I was accused of being lazy. He said they both enjoyed the walks and hikes while I “purposely” sat on a bench. Also, they have “more in common”; he “enjoys talking to her more,” “being with her more,” etc. Plus, he’s sick of looking at me sitting in my recliner.
We’ve been separated now for two years. I’m miserable cohabiting in a house with someone I’ve been in love with for 51 years who doesn’t love me anymore. It’s absolute torture and doesn’t help my health issues at all. Please help, Annie! -- Can’t Afford to MoveI’m so sorry you’re entangled in such a difficult situation. Not only have you lost a partner, but you’ve lost someone you thought was a friend -- a double betrayal.
Depending on your assets and how you and your husband decide to proceed, you might consider looking into how to put the house up for sale. With that money, you can finally find your own place to call home again.My husband and I have been married for 30 years. It is our second marriage for both of us. Our kids are grown and gone, and we are retired. We are together usually 24/7, which is fine. He is somewhat insecure, and I do a lot to take care of him. I do all the cooking, pay the bills, etc.

For the weeks leading up to it, I quietly went about preparing the house and putting systems in place so I could be absent, but otherwise tried not to dwell on the upcoming unpleasantness. Most of my support people checked in occasionally to see how I was doing or if I needed anything. One sister-in-law, however, has been over-the-top.
