I’m alone. Well, I’m not alone, but I’ve never felt so alone. My husband is self-involved and unloving. I don’t want to talk to my friends about it. I don’t feel comfortable talking to my family about it. I need to find a way out but I don’t know what to do.

Kinda why this place exists. Those things are hard to say and who to know to talk to. I’m so sorry you feel that way. You, and everyone, deserve to feel good about themselves and to feel loved. Question, A way out of the relationship or a way out of feeling this way?

Idk. I don’t want to feel lonely. I don’t know if he’s capable of loving me how I need to be loved. I’m giving so much of myself, I’ve lost my ability to dream and even problem solve, everything just feels hopeless. I can’t leave my kids and I don’t wish to. I’m trapped and lonely caring and feeding and cleaning and entertaining all day and night, and now I’ve become useless to him and the rest of the world

Are you useless or is that how you feel? I’d guess you are not useless if you are doing all those things. Maybe you are needing to redefine what success looks like and what your contribution to society and your family is? Or maybe it’s their fault and you won’t be able to find this feeling in your environment so you need to move on?
