I’ve been with DH since we were teens, now we are 40 and I feel like we are growing apart. We are quite different personalities. As time goes by I feel like we don’t really get along. I find him a bit boring, he rarely makes me laugh anymore. I don’t really want to spend time with him, I’d much rather have fun with friends. Sexually I just don’t really feel passion although it’s good sex generally. I just don’t feel attracted to him in that way any more.
Unfortunately he seems really keen on me still, wants to have sex often etc. He has terrible self esteem and I’m not sure at all how he’d cope if I left him. He teeters on the edge of depression, is naturally a bit of a negative person and i find it draining.
We have three small kids so I can’t imagine splitting the family. I wouldn’t be able to keep doing my job as I wouldn’t be able to get childcare.
I feel stuck.
