And I agree: you can't build a better marriage by yourself. While I can't tell you if you should leave your husband, I can ask if you want your life to stay exactly as it is right now. Do you want to be married to this man for another 16 years...without expecting him to change? Also, I encourage you to take control of the parts of your life that you CAN control. Get a better job, go back to school, take a water color course, travel, join a hiking group or book club...there are things in your life that you have control over. You may not be able to change your husband, but you can change other parts of your life! I wish you all the best -- let me know how you're doing... Blessings, Laurie Hi Dee,
