Your story is far too familiar to me. Not because I’ve lived it, but because so many of my friends have. And I saw different versions of it playing out throughout my childhood, high school, and college. It caused me great anxiety about my own life until I decided in my mid-20s that I wasn’t going to get married or have children. I eventually did meet a guy worth marrying, but I stuck to my guns about not having kids, and when I read articles like this, I’m glad I did. Not that kids are the problem. In your case, it’s your selfish husband whom you are enabling. I predict that you will leave him within the next five years and that you will regret not doing it sooner.
