I want to bust out

[Irisheyes78]

I'm only 30 but feel like a 50 yr old. I have 3 very small kids and would anything for them but feel so unhappy in my marriage. He is an ok bloke. Wishing I hadn't settled for him.

Feel so sad every day knowing this is my lot.

God I widh I could talk to the girl I once was.

The gin and tonics I have had are not helping.

That was me ten years ago. I know how you feel. But do you still love him?

we all feel like that, trapped, wondering is this it.

The grass is not always greener, it is human nature to always want more, I think it is one of our biggest failings as a species.

I am no Brad Pitt, as people always use to mock me saying my DW could of done much better. And she may well of been able to.

I get the feeling you are probably Lonely, he takes you for granted, no spark left etc?

I think you only feel you settled for him as you feel crap now. I bet you didn't feel like that when you married him.

I am feeling the same way...but the toffee vodka is definitely helping!

Friend and I were complaining about our husbands when she said she often wonders how it would be if he dropped dead with a heart attack...I confessed I often thought about the same...isn't that terrible. Almost comicial really (if you have enough toffee vodka). A lot of us are in the same boat..I think men get very boring when they get older but women maintain their sense of fun which creates such a disparity.

No advice really, just try a different (stronger) drink! xx

Get out more,do more for yourself,spend time doing things you enjoy........,don't be a slave to your marriage!!

It's not the most important thing either....

[Nabster]

Not comical.

I know how you feel Irisheyes. I also have 3 DCs.My DH (although a good dad/husband) is turning into a right grumpy old fart(like his Dad). I'm 40 and keep thinking "is this IT?" - wondering what happened to the old me . Any suggestions anyone?

Feel awful and guilty for posting that now- ought to count my blessings.Should say 3 fantastic DC's....but....suppose we all think the grass is greener now and then.
