Lifemates Complaints

He's not the man I married at all

I guess I was wrong nine years ago when I thought of my husband as a sweet, honest and hard working man. I feel now as if he was just putting on a show as he hid his real self which is the person I know today. I thought he was going to take care of me. I thought that he wanted the same things in life that I wanted. Man was I wrong! Not only does he not take care of me by getting a decent and consistent job, but he does not want the same things as me at all. He started getting into the whole idea of opening up a orphanage in Peru. I think it’s a beautiful idea and it’s great that he wants to be more involved in the world of charity but I don’t want to move to Peru.  I want to live here in Canada where I lived my whole life. We have bitter arguments about this all the time. I think it’s fair for me to tell him “it’s either me or Peru”. Many times, he said he would rather Peru than me. I’m starting to believe that he really feels this way. How could he do that? How could he choose Peru over me?  I’m hurt. He also hasn’t had a single decent job since we got married. I’ve been living in a dump for almost ten years and I’m sick of it. I’m sick of worrying about paying the rent every single month. By now, he should have been able to support me. If wants Peru, let him have it! I’ve had just about enough of him.
