I have never loved my wife, and she has no idea.

Conflicted

We met online after my last suicide attempt. I'm pretty much only with her as an excuse not to try killing myself again, and to ward off crippling loneliness.

Meanwhile she is absolutely obsessed with me. We've been together for 5 years now and she still says things like "I just get so happy when I lay in bed and stare at you".
And then there's me, I feel nothing for her at all other than a sense of commitment. I still have dreams at least once a month about the girl I loved in high school (the only one I ever did). When I wake up from those dreams I am heartbroken and sappy and the days I've had with my wife afterwards she says are the best days she's had with me.

There's nothing really wrong with my wife. She's very beautiful, very healthy, smart, witty as hell, and extremely passionate. She's everything I wish I could be. I know I treat her well, I buy her everything she wants, try my hardest to fulfil her every need and I never really ask for anything for myself. I just don't do it out of love. I dont feel happy for doing any of this, I just feel not-lonely.

If you actually read that post you'd see that the word "divorce" is nowhere in there.

Idiot.

It's called getting back together? What the fuck is wrong with you dude? Maybe if you actually read shit instead of skimming post histories to call people out for karma you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself so much right now.

I like your post. It's different then the usual ones I read most of the time. Any ways I think you should find out what's really hurting you inside. You know what they say. You can't love until you love yourself. Start with you. The loving part comes after. Best wishes.

That makes sense to me but it doesnt. I dont really feel like I have anything to love about myself. I hate existing and being something.

Well I was looking through your reddit page and it seems to me like you should have alot to love about yourself. Seriously. Maybe read some of your posts again or something they're really good ☺ you have really good writing skills. Not everyone does j/s.

Lol if you actually looked through my reddit history you'd know that I don't are about any of the shit that makes me "good". I don't want to exist. I hate having a name and a face.

You should try therapy or maybe a doctor for depression.

Yeah me too but I guess some people would rather hjiack threads to jerk themselves off. And of course the mods do nothing.
