writes:I really do not want to share this with friends or family. I have been in a relationship for 15 years and married for 4. I have 3 children, work full time and try my best to manage career, husband, children and home duties... Lately, I feel not only burned out, but out of touch, feel lonely, can't feel connection with my husband anymore. I feel guilty. Often I find myself thinking of someone else and what it would be like to be with the person, or wish to meet someone that can make me feel alive or appreciated. Or someone who can make me laugh, enjoy life and show me some fun. I just feel that I go out of my way just to be rewarded by my husband love or attention, but it turns to be a dissapointment, and it just does not feel right anymore when im with him;not even sex feels ok anymore. I feel that I want to be out of this trap and start over, but then I think about my children... And go no where... What is the right thing to do? Reply to this Question

 I think the right thing to do is to talk to your husband about how you are feeling, yes it will be a hard conversation to have, but an important one, and it will make him realise how you are feeling. Communication is key in order for a relationship to work, and you are not sharing all these feelings with him, therefore he does not know how you are really feeling, nor you him. Get someone to look after the children for a night. Maybe have a nice home cooked meal and just talk to him with no distractions. See what he has to say and the both of you can then discuss what would be the best way to move forward.
