Love her but Not in Love

[bigbri6556]

Ive been married for 13 years and in the last year Ive realized that Im not in love and only staying with her for our kids. She knows something isnt right cause shes made comments about us being distant from each other lately. I wouldnt file for divorce because of the kids but I think it wouldnt hurt my feelings if she did. What are your thoughts on this situation?

This is always a tough one. I'd highly suggest marriage counseling/couple counseling, if you haven't already tried it.

 

I feel like too many people are divorcing, nowadays, because it's the "easier" route (no offense). I feel couples should, at the very least, give counseling a try, work on actually giving an effort to improve the relationship, and see if there really may be other issues going on. If the relationship really can't be improved after both really giving their all to try and make it work, I suppose divorce is the only option.

 

Divorce isn't easy, though; it's not quick like television and the movies portray either. And it shouldn't be the first option that pops into your mind. Communication is key to relationships. You can't assume that the other person knows your thoughts and feelings and that there are problems within the relationship, if you haven't communicated it.
