[quote=Anonymous]How to deal with having grown apart? We married in our mid 20's and are in our mid 30's now, one child. If we didn't have a child, I would go my separate way. DH is a good person, but we are so very very different. I regret not listening to the counselor in our one required pre-marriage meeting. Based on the inventory we took, we were pretty incompatible.

We don't fight and we are nice to one another. He is a caring dad. It feels lonely though. I am very passionate about my work which he has no interest in or knowledge of. He is sort of lost professionally. This is a huge turn-off to me. He has a job that he is dissatisfied with and a very impractical graduate degree and is basically starting over now. He couldn't support the family without me. At this point I expected to be settling into a stable life and moving up. I am very ambitious. He is not ambitious. Having another baby together would be a mess. He tries to initiate sex all the time and I try to avoid it. I don't feel like I can be vulnerable with him because he won't be able to take care of things from a financial perspective if we had a second child (which I would love to have but not in this situation).[/quote]
