    So he has no interests, contributes nothing financially ( see other thread) and you have nothing in common.

    What attracted you to him in the first place?

    On the off-chance that you are genuine, why do you want to stay together?

    That's a serious question. You resent the inequality of what you contribute financially. You describe your wife as unmotivated and without any interests. You've been asked, but not answered, what got you together in the first place. There's no indication that you care for your her. So, other than apathy, is there any reason why you want to stay together?

    If there is, telling what it is would make it easier for people to help.

    you're right pauline...apologies for presumption of previous post please substitute appropriate pronoun!

    I am intrigued at OPs dripfeeding of info. on this forum. What is the overarching question? How come it's come up now?

    I've often wondered how and why couples who say they have nothing in common and share no interests get together in the first place.

    Surely they must share something... even if it's fancying the !!!!!! off each other.


    Great sex!:D
