Should I stay or go - flowerchild

I would like someone's opinion about my relationship. We don't agree on anything any more. There is no communication. Everytime I suggest something He puts me down, I seem to want his approval and positive answers but nothing makes him happy. I am miserable. yet I can't see myself starting over. Please help.

Starting over means there was something that you had and lost... Doesn't sound like you had much of a relationship to begin with.. You and he deserve better..all people do...so part as friends and wish each other well...unless you are married..then you have already made a commitment to each other to make it work...if he is not willing to get help with this, then you must get your own help..you will not be good for anyone, even yourself, without a sense of what a real loving relationship consists of...take a look at the online book offered here..it is excellent.. you can start your learning/therapy here.

Thank you, for responding. What you said really made me think. I went t to the bookstore and got "Codependent no more". I am starting to think that his moods really affect me and make me miserable. My happiness has depended on his moods and approval. I am married and committed but sometimes it is truly impossible to see a bright future. I have lost sight of my dreams and become bitter and angry at him. I will try to love myself and take one day at a time. God bless.
