Been married for 15 years. The last 5 have been poor, just little time spent together and drifting along, like many couples. Prior to that, it wasn't great as one of our kids was chronically sick. And, before that, it wasn't great because I had storming PND.
So, we kind of avoid each other and are exasperated with each other. But, he's polite, he works hard, he's a good dad (or, as good as he can be) and he says he wants the marriage to work and that he loves me. Just not, it seems, enough to actually want to spend time with me, plan anything together, share a bed, have a laugh or touch me.
I can't decide whether it's best to limp on, keeping our vows, and being borderline fed up, or, finish it because life is too fucking short.
The kids are happy and secure, we'd be reasonable parents if apart.
I did make vows. I meant them. But...
So, has anyone just made the best of a slightly-less-than-average marriage?
