Middle Age Crisis For Women or Just me!
I'm tired. Counting my blessings, but tired. Dreaming of a home of my own separate from my husband. Is that so wrong? We've been married for 19 years. I long for my independence. Want to see what life would be like if I got to be in charge all the time of my every decision. Want to have a home set up and decorated the way I like. Want to have foods in the kitchen that I like to eat - not just what he likes to eat. I've openly discussed this with him and of coarse he thinks I'm crazy. I just want to discover who I really am. I have been married to him since I was 23 and dated him since 22. Sometimes I feel like my identity is missing. Who am I, what do I like? Is that so selfish? I want to feel free and do things MY WAY not go along w/ his way. I'm 41 now, but am trying to find meaning in my life. I work each and every day. I do the M-F hamster wheel grind. Is there something so wrong w/ wanting to feel like the Captain of the Ship? He makes me feel like there is and when I tell him my feelings, he just laughs. What will I do. All actions have serious consequences and especially when children are a part of the situation. I love my children - I love my husband, but sometimes feel like we are more friends than anything else. I never want to hurt him. Yet I find myself in misery, day dreaming about what my life / home would look like if I could be me. Anyone relate to this?
