    Dear April,

    I have been seperated from my husband for a little over three years now. I could have filed for divorce a couple of times but couldn’t do it. I know that I still love him and I have already told him that I did. He told me that he went in a few times to file himself and told me that he could not do it either. That was a year ago. We were going to try again but chose to be with another woman and later found out they were pregnant with a baby. He has been with a couple of women since then and now is back with the woman he had a baby with. He looks very unhappy. He doesnt talk to me about anything. Yet when I tell him that I would pay for the divorce he gets angry with me. I am so confused. I thought thats what he wanted yet he does not have anything to do with me. If he doesn’t love me why does he still want to be married to me? Why does he resent me? Please help me understand. I just want for him to be happy. With me or without me. I am not sure what is going on.

    Thank you… Sincerely, Kitty

    Don’t be confused. He doesn’t want the divorce — that’s why he’s angry at your suggesting you’d pay for it.

    He doesn’t want the divorce, AND he doesn’t want you. I know this doesn’t make sense to you because it’s not what you would want, but he isn’t you. He just wants what he wants — no divorce, and other women, and no you. 😥 Not a very good deal for you. 😕

    Here’s a better question: If he doesn’t love you, and he’s with other women, why do YOU still want to be with him? 😯

    He resents you because you exist. He resents you because he thinks he made a mistake marrying you and he doesn’t want to divorce you, so he’s stuck. Instead of getting mad at himself, he’s going to blame you.

    You can’t make him happy. That’s his job.

    What’s of concern is that you’re skirting the real issue here: Why are you staying with him? You probably have some legal and financial liability now that he has a child with another woman, so it would be a good idea to talk to an attorney, who will most likely advise you to get a divorce to protect your assets. But that’s just legal. I’m here to tell you that in terms of your relationship, you have one — but it’s a bad one. My advice is to file for divorce and try and find a happy and healthy relationship for yourself! 😀

    I hope this helps. Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
