Just that really. I am sad to find myself in this position. I feel that my marriage is over, for me, not for him. Is there ever a way back?

Early 30s and married, one DC, under 1. We were so in love. Ive had doubts for a couple of years but it feels like it's over for me. I so want us to be a family unit but I don't love him romantically.

The thing is, the things which have contributed to me falling out of love have always been there I think. I was in my early 20's when we met and I had different expectations then of relationships.I worked long hours and I think I missed some things.

When I've tried raising the issues which I'm unhappy with, he either gets defensive or agrees and things improve then a few months later it's the same as before. Issues: doesnt pull weight with housework, lack of communication and emotional support (he is away lots with work so v important), with sex no focus on me.

I keep telling him I am unhappy with things but it just leada to rows.

He is a well-liked man and friends and family love him. He is not abusive. I just ferl like romance is dead and I dont want to be in a relationship where I have to remind the other person of my needs.

He is a brilliant dad and DC adores him.
