[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think my husband would have said the same before we went to counseling- that our marriage was happy and our life was so good.

In fact, his life was ideal for HIM and because I didn’t have any space in the relationship.  Everything had to be his preference- vacations, family activities.  He was involved in his sport and going out with friends several nights a week.  We didn’t do date night or even things I like that he doesn’t, even if I asked.  He always had a good reason why what he wants makes sense and what I want is impossible.

You are so lucky that your DH asked to go to counseling instead of dumping you or starting an affair, OP.  Go for the counseling and start thinking really hard about whether DH has been your partner or your prop.[/quote]

But you were able to clearly articulate what your issues were. OP's DH has not done that. Vague resentment + claims that he's been feeling this way for years is a lot more likely to be some kind of midlife crisis/affair, vs. if someone can actually say what's going on. [/quote]

NP here. It could be an affair or it could be something similar to what the PP above you described. Either way, he needs the counselor to help him talk and sort through everything. I do see this as a good sign. OP just needs to really be open to hearing what he has to say. [/quote]
