Just had a revelation

...See more My husband and I moved to a rural town and we have an acre of land. Since we moved in 2 years ago, I’ve wanted a vegetable garden. I just need someone to roto-till the area. My husband has been passively blocking me. Just won’t help or talks me out of asking another family member to help me. Recently, he’s been saying it’s a bad idea. I finally asked him why. He said that it will be too much work (but I never asked him to do any work) then he said he wouldn’t eat the vegetables and finally he said he might want to play baseball with our grandson when he’s older. I only want a 20x20 foot garden. I reminded him that there is plenty of space to play. I just realized that all of his reasons are about him! He’s not supporting me and my interests. He really only cares about himself. It’s a very painful thing for me to accept

...See more My husband has me doing everything. I was fed up last week when he told me that I needed to order a water delivery. I said that we should take turns calling because that’s what adults do. I even wrote down the number for him. He has refused to call. He was the one who wanted bottled water delivered. I can’t taste the difference. Should I continue the stand off? Is it petty?

...See more My husband is very selfish. He always puts himself first. If I ask for help he will say “I don’t feel like it”. If he isn’t working he lays around or lifts weights and acts like he is a teenager. I take care of all finances, housework and kids etc. I’d like to leave him but our youngest is in college. Our oldest thinks I’m mean to him. He will never leave me because he can’t take care of himself. His parents would never get a card or gift if I didn’t send it and they don’t even like me!! I read an article about leaving a relationship emotionally but staying physically. I don’t know if it’s possible because it’s infuriating to see how lazy he is. I told myself to start doing things without him and act like he doesn’t exist. Any advice??
