Perhaps I'm just feeling a bit down today, but after reading an article about what makes a marriage last, I felt awful.
Apart from the basics (dont cheat, lie or be an arsehole in general) there were a few paragraphs talking about sex. It stated that if you're not having sex often, or like you used to then one day you are going to wake up and realise your husband or wife is basically a room mate.
My husband and I definitely dont have sex like we used to. We dont have the energy or we are busy due to us both working night shifts. Im worried what will happen when we have children. We still average out about once a week.
I also have some skeletons in the closet. Just one big one, its big for me at least. I didnt finish school. I was about 2 months off from finishing when I just couldnt do it anymore, I had terrible depression and was suicidal. Im 26 now and have managed to find a good job despite this, I earn quite highly but it does mean I may struggle to find employment elsewhere if I decide to change job. My skills are not very transferable.
I am so ashamed at that fact that I haven't told my successful husband.
I try to be the best i can be, I work hard at work, try keep the place in order, am attentive to my husband and I try to be as respectful and loving as I can.
What do you think MN? Please try to be gentle with me, I feel quite vulnerable
