Linda welcome to the program. Oh

Well, hi, Dr. Laura. Hi, first up with an emergency talk to you. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you.

Thank you. Um, I sent an email about that, but uh, yes, I'm a real email. Okay. So I'm in a marriage. It's been 48 years. I've just become so resentful and bitter towards my husband. Um, it's been, it's been a good marriage, but it's been like, I feel like I've been the one carrying the load.

I'm sorry. Could you describe the load that you've been carrying describe what's included in the load? Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. Well, I mean, he's, first of all, because he's kind to general. He's considered it. That's probably the reason I married him, but that also to me. Now I look at it and so weakness. Um, I've been the main breadwinner of the church.

I mean, he's a wonderful man. And I feel like I've been the responsible adult in the relationship. And I'm just really.

How did that, how did that come to pass when you were dating and talked about being married and who would work and how many kids and all of that.

That's what we didn't. It happened really fast. I moved out and moved and met him and within a couple of months, we were married.

But it was wonderful because at first, it was just we were both young and it was fun. And he, like I said, he hasn't changed. He hasn't changed at all.

So when you were first married, you expected to be the breadwinner?

Well, I, I'm kind of like on a very opposite. And even though he's always worked, I've been the one that, that's had the main job.

He's kind of an artist and he was going to make money doing art. And then he didn't have time because he was doing odd jobs and things like that to bring home the money.

He is who he is. He's not anything different. And so I blame myself for thinking that, but come down. And honestly, I just, I want to be more loving and caring and I just want to, I mean, we don't even know sex or anything anymore.

And he says he's fine with that because he loves me. But I miss it. I miss being a loving wife. So right now we're just, I mean, we're not unhappy, but I'm not happy.

What do you think at this point might make you happy?

I, I tell him I like to alone.

I'm sorry. I didn't understand that. What do you think at this point in your life would make you happy?

Living alone.

Oh, living alone. So you think his companionship does, I'm sorry. Am I misunderstanding you? You want to spell the words?

No, I don't want to. I just want to live alone. I just, you know, because, okay.

Well, let me ask you, ma'am, woohoo. Let me ask you about that. Okay.

Now, okay.
