I want to be happy again, I feel as though I'm not alive, and my fire has burnt out.

Question - (21 April 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 April 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have had a relationship for 4 years, we have children together. I don't know why but for some reason the past few months I don't feel the same.

I'm worried that's it, it's run its course. I can honestly say I have never even considered being with anyone else during this relationship, I know that he is 100% faithful to me, infact if anything he puts more effort into this at the moment than I do. I just dont know whats wrong. I keep telling myself it's because I am at home with the kids all week and I need a break, but I'm not sure.

It hurts to think of being without him but at the same time I could have some fun, I feel like a shadow of the person I used to be. I have no friends locally and they work all week anyway and I work all weekend. I don't go anywhere and he makes no effort to take me anywhere when we do actually get chance. He thinks he does enough by going out to work all week and can't get his head around the fact that my job is 24/7 unless he chips in.

Anyone ever felt this way? I do love him, we have been through such alot together but I feel as though I'm not alive, my fire has burnt out. Advice please.

You definitely need a break. Its not about him but because of You. Why dont you suggest going somewhere for the weekend or in any spare time and have some fun? If I were in your shoes I would suggest anything that would give satisfaction to me. Even dinnner and going to pub can be that . Just hit it

Best of luck

Laura1318 agony auntYou are burnt out by the 24/7 routine.

You need to recharge your batteries.

See if you can connect with any female friends and hang out once a week.

This will give you the much respite from the daily and monotonous job at home.

You need a break. Talk to him that it is best you get a break for your health and your family's.

If you work 24/7 for 365 days, you will break down and become irreparable.

Looking after kids is a very stressful job.
