Skylar, first - I apologize for the delay in responding. My home internet has been running extremely slow and it's been difficult to connect to some sites, such as this one. To answer your question: The short answer is - It is better to be happy alone, than miserable with someone else. The long answer - There are a few reasons why people stay in unhappy situations: Financial security, not wanting to be alone, the fear of starting over, the hope of "someday, things will change", familiarity. It's up to each individual the extent of what they are willing to deal with, and the sacrifices they are willing to make. However, your happiness should not be one of those sacrifices. The only way things WILL change, is if YOU take the first step to MAKE that change. It may be tough financially and/or emotionally, at first, but, slowly but surely, you'll see that it is better in the long run. You don't neccessarily need to be "coupled up" to have a happy life. In fact, you might be surprised at how much you have been missing out on. Not knowing the details of your situation, this is a general comment of course, but, hopefully it's something to make you think about the situation you are in and how to you can change it to lead a happier life.

What do you do when your husband is the one who is blocking your happiness?
