A bored wife has turned to the internet for marriage advice after admitting she is tired of her relationship with her “dull” and “grumpy” husband. The woman in question posted a lengthy open letter on Mumsnet in which she revealed she’s “fed up” with her boring husband, who she claims spends his time working and reading rather than spending time with her and their children.
She also admitted that she married the man because he was “dependable,” which was something she was looking for after dating “bad boys” who weren’t marriage material in the past. Years into their marriage, the disgruntled wife has grown tired of putting in all the effort to protect their marriage while receiving no emotional support from her husband.
“I’m sick and tired of my husband and my marriage.” No, I’m not going to divorce him. He’s not a bad person, and he’s never done anything bad to me. He isn’t abusive. “He hasn’t cheated, and I don’t think he will,” she wrote in her open post. “I wouldn’t say he’s a good father, but I also wouldn’t say he’s a BAD father, I suppose.” He’s a bare-bones type of father.”
“I’m finding life with him painfully boring,” she continued. He’s a grump all of the time. Always with a scowl on his face. It’s never fun. Never makes fun of us. Never interacts with children. He never seems to enjoy them. “As a kid, he was very into football and Lego, and we have two boys who would love to play football with him in the garden, but he always has an excuse.” Never wants to play with Legos with them. He’d rather sit around and read the news or work.
He is passionate about his work.” The woman went on to say that she and her husband are polar opposites, and she’s not sure that’s a good thing. She also insisted that she is the one who makes every effort to ensure their children have fun because he is “always scowling” and uninterested in his family.The mom received conflicting responses after seeking advice on the internet.
While some accused her of using her husband because he was a “safe bet,” others advised her to flee if he refused to change his ways and put in more effort. “You married him because he made your life easier. “You don’t want to be with him anymore because his characteristics as a father and a life partner make him boring,” someone wrote.”You don’t appear to be compatible.
He hasn’t changed during this relationship; he’s still doing what you once saw as positive. “You can’t make him become someone he isn’t and never has been,” another said. “I don’t think it’s fair to say he adds nothing to your life,” a third said. He brings stability, loyalty, and security to the table. He may be boring, but not every child has a parent who keeps them safe.”
