Have you saved your marriage when it was on the brink?

I feel like DH and I are almost at that point when one of us could throw in the towel. Mainly due to a succession of difficult times; DJ suffered a terrible incident, 2 small children who were reflux/allergy babies, pnd, house move & full renovation, career change, financial troubles, DH has had health worries etc. All in the space of 3 years. We’ve been together a long time but we’re somehow surviving...just but it feels v fragile. I really feel like my DH dislikes me (I used to feel adored). We don’t have sex anymore and actually he can barely look at me or have a conversation. He has retreated into himself and shut down. I’m struggling to get through to him. Anyone been here and somehow got through it??

esteem perhaps you will find something for yourself datingtalks.com/relationships/marriage/
I do not know what to advise you
You must decide for yourself to be with him and try to arrange things as you like, or leave

Maybe you both need a break? Could one of you move out and rent somewhere else for 6 months. Take the pressure off? I know a couple who did this and it helped them find each other again

I think a break might help too but financially we can’t afford to do that. My job is poorly paid and I work unsociable hours when he’s home. If he left I’d have to give up my job as I couldn’t get any ‘free’ childcare.

Thanks for the links. Will have a read.

Sounds like your DH has fallen out of love with you, sadly. Not uncommon when the realities of family life kick in.
