I am looking to train up into the travel industry so I can use my love of travel, language skills and knowledge of a foreign culture.
In some ways, I'm getting ahead. In other ways, I'm dragged down. It's hard because I'm on my own and struggling to get setup.
My wife? She's still overseas. I don't think she can change her attitude. We got married 8 months ago and she has already done so much damage that I am left to wonder why I am sticking around. She claims to love me, but she does stupid things like hanging up the phone and switching it off when she goes out to dinner with friends. Just dismiss me like I am nothing.
She said she suddenly could understand me after talking with her girlfriend. Her friend's husband is always going out without her and being dismissive. They fight endlessly. She says she is lonely and that she is 'clingy'. Well, unfortunately I married a dismissive woman. I tell you all now that I am carrying a lot of hurt thanks to her behaviour: dinner with a male friend here and the talking to me rudely and trying to sleep head to toe. She says this is her personality...
I have told her that I carry a lot of hurt in my heart. Of course I do. I don't care if she is trustworthy (which I don't believe she is entirely), it's the blatant mistreatment of me for so long that has had me time and again wonder why I got married. Just 8 months into the marriage she skips off after making me feel like crap. The first 5 years of marriage are supposed to be the best. She just treats me like I'm nothing. Get what I mean if I say that when I call, if she is out with friends, she hangs up on me.
I'm worth less than her friends. Little things make a big difference. I'm hurting for her bad behaviour towards me, leaving me alone for so long and I hate the way I have suffered with her. I haven't slept well, I've had nightmares, dreams where I'm reaching out to be intimate with someone. Feeling like it's my fate to be alone for my life. After three years, being separated for so long has taken it's toll on me.
I'm always exhausted. I'm getting run down and starting to get a bit sick :-(
I can't take anymore drama. I want a simple life. But I hate where I am right now.
I feel like my wife cares about me deeply. But I am feeling to hurt deep down to want to forgive her. If I forgive her:
- Will she go out to dinner behind me again?
- Will she start the verbal abuse again?
- Will she be dismissive?
- Will she try to live her life like a single woman?
We don't share anything together!
I still believe that she is doing something bad behind me - the turning off the mobile phone seemed like a real lie. She claims to have gone to dinner with her friend and then returned to her mum's house to see her dog, then to sleep another night at her friend's home... It doesn't add up. I feel like I'm being played.
