Thanks for listening. I have been married to the same man for almost 20 years. We met and married quickly, but were together for many years before we had DC's (now 11 & 8). We both have jobs, money is not flush but its not dire.
But I feel lonely in our marriage. There is not much intimacy (we rarely make love) and we have occasional bouts of arguments, have usual bickers. Its just all so empty.
Can love come back? I have thought about leaving but I am not sure I want to be without him, and the thought of separating him from the DCs makes me feel physically sick - it would absolutely break his heart, and he's a good dad.
I've tried to tell him how I feel, but he feels threatened and scared by my unhappiness. He claims to love me very much - but I don't feel loved.
Is this just the beginning of the end? Or can we save it?I just feel lost.
