Dear Miriam

MY husband of 20 years left me to shack up shack  
n.
A small, crudely built cabin; a shanty.

intr.v. shacked, shack·ing, shacks
To live or dwell: farm hands shacking in bunkhouses.
 with his brother's wife, only for her to change her mind and go back to her man.

My husband is still living in the rented flat they shared and thinks he can swan into the family home when it suits him.

When I try to resist, he gets angry and expects me to agree to sex.

I feel weak because I give in.

I love him and can't understand why he won't return home where he belongs. What can I do?

STOP letting him make the rules. You will never move on with your life if you let him in your bed.

He's playing with your emotions and he'll wreck WRECK, mar. law. A wreck (called in law Latin, wreccum maris, and in law French, wrec de mer,) signifies such goods, as after a shipwreck, are cast upon land by the sea, and left there within some county, so as not to belong to the jurisdiction of the admiralty, but to the common law.  your selfesteem if he continues to get away with it. He's trying to keep you on the back-burner just in case he needs you to fall back on.

You'll feel better if you fill up your life with friends and avoid your husband. He won't like it but tough.

You need your own space and, even if you decided to have him back, you won't be happy again with this selfish man.
