      He hurts me, life is hard sometimes and my mental health is not always great have been under extreme stress for years, life has been difficult

      sometimes no matter how hard I’ve tried to break away and I really have. He’s always there with a conversation and a hug. That is when he’s not being annoyed and mirroring my upset from his hurtful behaviour or addiction (he’s a functioning drinker/alcoholic he can stop too has breaks same with weed)

      I cave in, I feel weak that I can’t stay strong enough to live my life in my own. This makes me feel I need him, why? I really am the strongest in the relationship as he cannot cope with the problems we have faced he leaves me to deal with it and it just there in the background

      maybe this is normal. I have nothing to compare

      It’s been much better the last few years, again this makes me doubt myself, gives me hope, he can be nice, my best friend sometimes but then he suddenly does something to change things.

      kids say he’s lazy husband and father, relationship with them as they got older has deteriorated and they get on but find he’s not there for them, only on his terms (he’s gives lifts and does something things) it’s confusing
