Gayle ~ I am so sorry to hear this. Do you believe the reason he gave you is truthful? Is he really that immature and shallow? Or do you think something else is going on? The reason he gave you is not a reason to leave a marriage. Maybe the "many things" he's done to you in the last 7 years show a pattern and could explain the "real" reason. Whatever the reason, I'm so sorry. And maybe the reason really doesn't matter. You can't save a marriage all by yourself and if you have a partner that's not a willing spirit... well, you don't really have a partner. Someone you know that you can count on.

No wonder people love their pets so much. They are loyal and always love you no matter what.
