I've been married for 6 years to DH. He's a good man and he loves our DC. There are a few issues like I feel we don't really do anything together as a family, we don't go out and spend quality time together as much as I'd like and basically I feel he can be a bit on the boring side which is probably unfair but that's how I feel.
We have a nice house, money in the bank, lovely DC and we do get along well. He's faithful and works hard. But lately I'm just not sure I'm in love with him. I fantasize a lot about being single and living in my home just me and the DC.
But it would throw a massive grenade into our lives for not really any huge reason so I don't say anything and I just go along as normal.
It's not even really a hardship but I worry that this seed will just grow and grow.
I feel like there's not really any way for me to leave and be in a good position. I'd be giving up everything. Time with DC, our house (unlikely to be able to afford it alone) even my job because we own a property business together.
I feel like I don't really have anything that's not tangled with DH, even work.
Has anyone stayed when they've felt like things are alright but not as good as they'd like because it seems worse to leave? Has this feeling improved for anyone?

Have you got your eye on someone else? If so, leave. If not, then unless you are particularly keen to find someone else, I'd sit tight for practical reasons as long as you're getting on. Most relationships aren't particularly romantic years in.
