[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 40 and married with three kids ages 2, 4, and 6, and I’m not in love with my husband of eight years anymore. Or I should say that, sometimes, I get periods of grace where I fall in love with him again for a few days or weeks. But often, at least half the time, I’m just going through the motions when I say, “I love you,” or kiss him, or agree to have sex. I try and try. I really do. We’ve done couples therapy, I make lists of the things I’m grateful for about him, and I try to be loving and gracious even when I don’t feel loving and gracious. How long do I try? I don’t want to wreck my kids’ lives or his life or our financial future. Do I raise the kids to young adults and then reevaluate? Do I leave sooner so he/we have another chance at love? Is this just what long-term monogamy feels like? Any words of wisdom for me?

Sincerely,

Seriously, does anybody feel in love with their spouse? No. I do not. I am loving and gracious and thankful for him - but feeling "in love?" no. We are a good match, but I'm not in love. I'm not going to head out and divorce, though, because he knows how to work the TV and I do not.[/quote]
