My wife has told me after I sensed something wasn’t right, that she thinks we are more just like good friends now instead of a married couple. We have 2 young children. We talked things through and I agreed that we do seem more like friends now.
I said that we should try and work at things to see if we can get out of the friends zone, but she doesn’t think we can although she has said, okay let’s try then (the tone she says this at comes across as though she’s not really wanting to try to make things better).
She is happy for us to live together for the sake of the children, and that nothing has really changed - we should just carry on as before. I am happy to do this, but on the provisio we try and sort things - we haven’t had a night out just the 2 of us since our 2nd was born well over a year ago.
I feel if we started concentrating on each other again that we can fix things, but I don’t think she does.
I really want things to work out, but feel myself becoming cold/distant towards her (because I’m thinking, well if she’s not wanting to try then why should I).
She says there is no one else and I believe her. She says she can’t help the way she feels. I don’t want to stay in an unhappy marriage just for Children’s sake, but at the same time I don’t want to let them down either.
I just don’t know what to do. Financially it would be impossible for us to separate. My heart is breaking when I think of the children and I just need some advice.
