You have to yell in his face and tell him how he makes you feel. You have to make him see the seriousness behind your feelings, that you are willing to no longer live knowing that you are second choice in his life.
If he is your first choice, then you gotta be his or else you are giving more than he is in the marriage, and that is not balancing. Marriage is all about balance.
You have said it, Your husband is a mamma's boy.
But you have to treat this situation in an adult attuide since you have two teenage daughters. As much as you should think about yourself in this marriage and about your happiness, you have to also think about your daaughters.
Marriage counceling can really help if you get your husband to go with you.
But there might be a chance he wouldn't. If he didn't co-operate, then you should show him where he stands and that he is not a fully adult.
You should talk to your daughters about it so in the future if you decide to leave him, they wouldn't blame you.
And I think you should seek a family or a friend's help.

I feel totally alone like the only person I have to talk to his my kids. Do what your heart tells you. You deserve to be happy. [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
