writes:I am married to a man who is a wonderful provider for me and my children, but I feel that I'm falling out of love with him. He's just two years older than me and he acts so settled down and old all the time. I like to get out and do things, but the only thing he can find spontaneous to do is to go to a movie, of which I hate going to movies. I just don't know what to do about my feelings. I've discussed them with him and his response has been that he's always been this way and I've always complained, therefore, "it is, what it is". I'm no longer attracted to him sexually and I'm very bored conversating with him on a day to day basis. If a person is not willing to put forth an effort to keep the flame burning, should I continue to sit back and let happiness pass me by?

Oh my goodness I feel like I'm in the exact same situation as you but without the children. Why should you stay if you are not going to be happy. So many preach on and on about what is the 'right thing to do' but you only have one life and what is the point if you are living a lie. We could go through our whole lives and try and not hurt anyone and live the way we think is the best way to satisfy other people but what about the loyalty we owe to ourselves. I realise that you have children but if you are both good people, you'll protect your kids from any hurt or hard feelings that will transpire. I already think I know in my heart what I need to do and by the sounds of things you do too. Take Care x
