After a number of hard years with difficult behaviour from DH (his stress turning to anger with me, and him never letting me express anything I’m finding difficult about him) and lots of previous conflict, I’m not sure if I love him anymore. The confusing thing is he feels lockdown has given him perspective and he can finally see that he wants to change. I should be glad but not feeling it. Feel I may not love him anymore. Now that he’s calmer I can feel comfortable and familiar with him, and I care about him, but there are some aspects of him I dislike. He’s not my favourite person to talk to (prefer friends), and I’m not usually especially glad to see him, though now he’s calmer it’s ok being around him. Feel depressed at the thought of it being the relationship for the rest of my life, but is this just what it’s like after being married 10 years with 2 young DC?
