I imagine if I shared my situation with my best (unmarried) girlfriends, they'd see it as a prelude to an announcement that I'm done with this marriage. Suffice it to say DH has scraped all of the romantic joy from our relationship. I have a stable household with marvelous children I enjoy beyond all reason. Parenthood has been great. My life, I say, is good. Outside of DH, my only real complaint is my hair. I'm a very lucky woman.

I'm a very lucky woman, that is, aside from this wedded thing. This marriage *very* quickly became an empty relationship. We don't talk about anything much. We don't do anything together. Our activities in the house don't really overlap much. And all of this is without rancor. There's a lot of "meh" and "whatever" cluttering up this house.

The 19-year-old feminist that lives in my head is outraged. The forty-something body I occupy just can't be bothered, so I just work around the lump on the couch.

Are you in a similar situation? Did you leave something like this behind? Is this just No Big Deal, a marriage like a lot of our grandparents maybe had?[/quote]
