Hi all. I’m new to mumsnet and have found a bit of comfort in reading other posts about breakups, knowing that other people are going through similar situations.
I think my marriage has just broken down. We’ve not been happy for a while. Disconnected and distant from each other I suppose, but carrying on with our life which is usually busy with socialising, holidays, weekends away, fun stuff with our DC. Have had a few big arguments over the past year, not really about anything in particular. We don’t have any financial worries, we’re both in good health, lovely house, beautiful DC who brings us so much joy. So no real issues. I think we both finally realised yesterday (NY day) that we’re not happy and we can’t continue like this. We both say we still love each other and want to make it work I just don’t see how.
We don’t know how to move forward. I think we may have fallen out of love. He seems so distant now and things between us have felt false recently, like we being polite to each other. Haven’t had sex in a very long time.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to fall back in love and feel close to someone again?
How can you reconnect with someone and become emotionally invested?
We’re seeing a councillor on Sat so will see what progress we can make.
I’m trying to stay positive but just can’t see a way back to a happy, connected place.
I don’t think we acknowledged the distance that has grown between us until recently, so this has totally broken my heart. Feel like I’m losing everything.
Trying to stay strong for DC as she doesn’t have a clue about any of this right now, but just want to get into bed and cry.
My husband went to stay with his parents yesterday, he usually works a lot so I’ve told DC he left early this morning. I’ve a feeling he won’t be moving home again though. 😢
