I am feeling the same way you feel but I have no kids. I have been married for 5 years. (dated for 3 years) I got married too young at the age of 23. I am currently going to school and working full time. I do find myself very stressed. However, I am not happy in the marriage. I feel like being single and being alone. My wife has no friends so she needs me 24/7. I don't see my family in Mexico anymore because she is not a big fan going to Mexico with me. We have had hours and hours of discussion about going to Mexico. It usually ends up in her crying and getting no where. Since I got married 5 years ago, I have seen them twice. Maybe I should wait until I finish school and get a real job because things might get better. However, I feel nothing will really change. I have been very short and grumpy with my wife for couple months now. She has noticed but doesn't say anything. She only comments how SHE is not receiving cuddles anymore, how SHE is not gettig touches from me, how SHE doesn't get too many hugs anymore. I have been frustrated because its all about her. I still love her but not in the same way. I can't even talk to her about this because she loves me very much and I can't break her heart.

Wow.. I am glad I am not alone. I have been married for 5 years and I am not happy in my marriage right now. My wife has no clue because she is very happy in the marriage. We got married in our early 20s. (Too young to get married) I am currently working full time and going to school. I still love my wife very much but I have no passion in the marriage anymore. I also want to have kids but it's not the right thing to do. I am really stressed because I work and go to school. However, we have been together for about 8 years and I am finding myself bored in the marriage. I feel like I need to be alone and live life a bit more because I am not a happy camper. I would like to take a break from the marriage and feel free once again. My wife has no friends and needs me 24/7. (I could write a book on this) I only have one problem. I can't even talk to my wife about this because it would break her heart so much. I could see myself taking a break from our marriage but I don't think my wife does one bit. I know what everyone is going to say…I need to talk to her first.
