No connection, what now?

[blueskydays45]

I have been with my DH for 17 years, married for 7. I no longer feel any connection to him, I feel so sad and alone at home even though I feel like he hasn't changed so maybe I have changed. How do I have this conversation with him? We are notoriously bad at communicating with each other and always have been but generally got on well and very very very rarely argue. I don't even know how to broach this subject and leaving him will upset my DC so much but I feel no happiness at home.

Hi op sorry to read this. It’s such a hard conversation. Would you consider therapy for yourself first to find out why you feel like that, what brought you here, what the main problems are etc and find ways of bringing it up with him? I know communication is hard, but it absolutely has to be the first step. It’s only going to get harder if you try and co-parent without talking about/potentially trying to resolve them first.

What are the communication issues?
