Who is in a marriage that makes them unhappy?
Advertisements [?]
I must confess that I am and have been so for quite some time. It's not that my wife is a bad person. In fact she's a very good person. But I've never been what I would call love with her. We met and started dating and the sex was ok for awhile. For a guy in his 20's a steady supply of bedroom time seemed to be just the ticket. I thought that maybe that this is what love's supposed to be like.

And yet something inside of me told me this was wrong, that it wasn't meant to be between her and I. I ignored that feeling and hoped things would get better and then I'd be madly in love. Even after moving in together I always waited and hoped for things to improve. Finally I was just tired of being alone so we married She loves me in her own way. But still I can sense an inner anger on the part of both of us that something's never been right and that counseling never could fix.

Now after 2 kids and 18 years I've had enough. We both deserve significant others that can truly love us. Our love life has been non existant for years. As God as my witness I never wanted life to be like this.

Anyone else like this? What are you doing about it?
