Feel like we have a brother/sister or housemate relationship these days. Spoken to him about it but he says it is due to the age we are (early 50s) and the length of time married (28 years). Is this normal?

It doesn't have to be. I'm a similar age and have been with my husband a similar amount of time.

We still have an active sex life and spend a lot of time together, going out or staying home.

We have teenagers, but know that one day we will have an empty nest, so make sure we make time for one another so it isn't a shock later in life when we just have each other for company.

What do you want for your life together, do you thinknit can be fixed?

I would suggest some marriage counselling, as it seems he needs a kick up the arse. Is he quite happy for another 30 years of this?

Speak to him and let him know what you want from your relationship.

I hear you but I'm only mid 40s and know I don't want to settle . But I also wouldn't want a new relationship and all the hassle of meeting someone else

We only know one side of the story, maybe two kicks up two arses are required
