Just writing this is really difficult, but ...
I'm pretty sure I don't love my husband. He suffers from stress and has had bouts of depression which make him moody and unpredictable. We have beautiful 4 year old twins who he loves, but can't relate to making them cling to me and making me defensive of them when his mood is bad. This is making our relationship more and more turbulent.
I have no attraction to him - our sex life has been 'dull' for a long time and non-existent in the last year or so.
In January I told him how I felt. He begged me to stay and he would 'be better'. He is making more effort with the kids, but it feels like too little too late.
I know I need to find the courage to move things on, but how??? My family live 3 hours away and, although I have good friends, I feel like I have nowhere to turn...
Not really sure what I'm asking. Maybe just for those of you who have been in a similar situation to help me find that bit of strength required to try and make me happy again.
One point - there are no third persons involved in this. Just a relationship breakdown :-(
