[quote=Anonymous]Good marriage for 11 years, 3 kids, DH in late 40s.  We are healthy, good careers, financially secure, have great friends and a generally low-stress life.  Lately he is ambivalent, not sure he is cut out for marriage. He also cheated recently and is getting over feelings. Most people on here will just say dump the cheater, but we both have a lot invested in this marriage.  Fundamentals are good. We are affectionate, have sex regularly, make time to reconnect, and are kind to each other. Kids are happy and thus far unaffected.  Doing the therapy thing.  I am patient but also wondering how long does this ambivalence last in middle aged men?  I see it everywhere in my social circle (is it a Bethesda thing??).  Why can't people just focus on the positive and love what they have?  I am not holding back his happiness; always encouraged his personal growth.  I don't think our marriage is the problem, but it's all in his head.  How long does it take, or what does it take, for a midlife crisis to fade, and for a guy to figure his s**t out? [/quote]
