this is Mr. StaceyV

[perth]

Is the type of love he can give, the type of love I want and need?

yes, with the one exception.(trust issues)

Then Stacey, the answer is no. A question of such importance cannot have an answer with caveats and exceptions attached to it. It's yes or no. Period.

You remind me of my brother. He's living with a girl who won't even let him have a key to his own house. She treats him like dirt and says the most horrible things I've ever heard come out of a person's mouth. He complains about it, tells me how much he hates it, but guess what? He stays. He is obviously unhappy and he is obviously in a doomed relationship. But he hasn't left, and he refuses to do so. And now she's carrying his child. This is the worst-case scenario.

You, on the other hand, are in a pretty good position right now. You're not happy, and deep down, I think you know you will never be, in this relationship. Be honest with yourself and you'll find your best course of action blindingly clear.

Your husband is a dick. I've seen his type and guess what? He isn't gonna change. Honesty with your spouse should never be uncomfortable. If I ever had a problem being honest with my wife, it would be because I fucked up real bad and expected her to leave me over it.
