Anyone feel that they have outgrown their spouse?

Same boat.

Was making it work (sort of) until I recently lost my father who I am close with to severe depression (alive but hard to communicate with) and my best friend to cancer (died).

Now I am just so lonely. Thankfully I have my siblings and friends, but the shrinking inner circle has really shined a light on the deficiencies in the marriage.

Your spouse should not be your everything. Isn’t that a lot to ask from one person? Lover, best friend, main emotional support, advisor, financial partner, roommate, etc.? Pick a couple and leave a couple to your other relationships.

This, for sure.
