Hi,
I posted a couple of years ago I think about how I wasn't terribly happy in my marriage. My husband is a lovely kind man but doesn't tend to share his thoughts or feelings and is in my view pretty shut down emotionally. We haven't had ex for a few months, probably only a handful.of times in the last 5 years and to be honest I haven't felt connected to him or that my emotional needs have been met for a long time.
I think it's the old adage of I love him.but am not in love with him any more and as time goes on its getting harder to pretend..
He knows I'm unhappy but he says there's no problem from his perspective and things are fine...
I feel like not only do I mother my 2 kids aged 10 and 13 and gave to a lot to help my elderly mum who has cancer but I also seem to have to mother him in a variety of ways as well and tbh I'm a bit worn down by it all...
I feel like I've been living in limbo for a number of years without feeling fulfilled in my relationship but I'm so worried about splitting and the effect it will have on him and the children and also me..!!
Any words of wisdom welcome...
