you have to ask yourself if staying with your husband is worth the greif it is giving you? He is an adult who makes choices and does tings he believes. If you don't agree with them then you should leave and find a situation that your heart inspires to even if it means living in a studio apartment with a hot plate. At least you know you lived for yourself and not for someone who you thought was something tht they wound up not to be.
