I’m so lonely and long to be touched and romanced, but I’m 74 now, and I don’t think I will ever find that in my life.
I care about him so much, but I feel used, and I am very resentful toward him. I’m so depressed. I just don’t know what to do. I can’t leave now due to finances. -- I Think I’m Stuck
DEAR STUCK: It sounds like he thought the two of you had an arrangement in your marriage but that arrangement is simply not working for you. What your husband did was selfish and cruel. And it is no wonder you are depressed. You deserve to be romanced and told the truth from the beginning. The good news is that it is not too late. It is time to leave your husband with the understanding that the two of you can still be friends. You are just leaving him as a wife.
Once you get away from the toxic situation you are in, then you should seek the help of a professional therapist who can help you sort out the understandable anger you have toward him and the grief you will feel mourning all the years spent in a relationship that was built on false pretenses.
