He would not listen or open up to me, so I opened up to him.
Dear ____,
I have tried to talk to you about how I feel in our relationship, and what I need from you as a partner. But I feel my words are not getting through to you, or worse, you willfully are ignoring them.
I do not want to be co-dependent on you or make you feel like I’m taking you for granted.
I want you to be happy.
I feel as I have failed you as your wife, friend, and partner in raising our children.
Worthless is how I feel in your eyes and not the person you initially fell in love with; if it was love to begin with, and not just lust on your part.
When you were honest with me in 2015, about your countless betrayals, this was an eye opener on how you truly felt in our relationship.
Something was amiss with us, back then, but I thought it was just because you regretted my decisions about leaving my previous job to stay home with our youngest at the time.
Now, I’m beginning to understand when you say it’s not just about me.
I am missing you in the picture. The issues you have are long rooted, and as you say, there is nothing I can do. Sex addiction is an addiction.
