Today is my 17 wedding anniversary

I’m pretty sure it’s the last one we will share. We are no longer in love with each other, friends sharing the same house is more like it. The only thing we have in common is the girls. We don’t agrue or fight, we don’t talk and we don’t… you know… do it. I don’t feel bad, in fact I don’t feel anything. My biggest worry is the kids, that’s why I’ve stuck around for as long as I have. But I think the kids are seeing a warped version of married life and I think they’re old enough now to see what going on. I don’t want them to think its normal.

I’m not looking for sympathy or advice, I just need to get it out.

Thanks for listening,
Probe
This is now the third try to post this Damm Hamsters!

Oh My God. Probe, if it was late June, this could have been written by me. Except about the fighting and add a boy to the girls. That was weird reading that. Good luck to us both!

When I first read the thread I was going to chime in and say ‘congratulations’, but was not expecting the story that followed.

Many of us have been there, loveless marriage that is. Does your husband feel the same way?
Are your girls still living at home?

I’ve seen women stay in unhappy marriages for the sake of their kids, and the fact that it’s just easier to stay sometimes, but I encourage you to do what you need to do to get happy again.

All the best. Get some support.:slight_smile:

Wow.

Sad to say, but this hit close to home.

Hope it works out for you.

Exactly what i wanted to say.

I guess my username doesn’t give any clues as to my gender. :smack: I am the husband and the girls are 9 and 11 years old. I chickened out this weekend and didn’t say anything, now I feel like crap.
