I have been married for over 10 years. Always felt like something was missing. Over the years, I was made to feel like I was the problem and/or the reason why we had conflicts. My husband has never wanted to communicate. Trying to "talk" always leads to silence or me walking away because he won't talk.
Recently, I found a letter he wrote to his "first love". In it, he told about his life since her and referred to her as his "first love". Since her, he noted there was a "second love" (which isn't me) and that he married me after many years of dating....
He referred to our marriage as "so so" and that he didn't love me as much as her or the "second love".
I am hurt for 2 reasons:
1. The openness in communicating to his ex in a letter. I have always given him opportunities to be honest. When trying to get him to talk, didn't work, I wrote many heartfelt and honest letters. (giving him the opportunity to acknowledge and move forward like adults) - we have a child.
2. When he proposed, I asked him outright if he was doing it because he felt obligated or was he truly in love? He lied....
I am trying to come to terms with what I read, but then I am not sure how to approach him with the information that I have.
I am careful to not create a difficult situation for my son. I am not really surprised and have to say, a bit relieved because I have spent a lot of time in counseling and drugs trying to understand "what I did or not do"
Do I tell him I found the letter or find another way to broach the situation that we shouldn't be together.
My concern is that he mentioned he is "always looking for someone who..."
I love him with all my heart, but don't want it to get to the point of him cheating....
WHAT DO I DO???
