my friend is very unhappy in her marriage since having children. Like us all it can put a big strain onto the relationship and her and her dh hardly go out as often, have much in common, dont have or want to have sex regurlaarly etc and feel more like friends then husband and wife. She says she loves him like a friend and not a husband. She doesnt find him attractive anymore but knows he is a good man and a good father which makes it so hard to leave.Has anyone felt like this and come through it?
I know a few friends who feel like this since having children-myself included . I too love my dh but not in the same way i did. Hes working away alot at the moment and weekends are always busy so i feel we've drifted apart.The sad part is i often think about leaving but i know i never will .I mean is it fair to settle for someone who is a good husband and father but may not be the love of your live? Is it a reason to leave or can you work things out?
