[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you happy as a person who do you feel like something is missing? I mean, are you longing for the connection you no longer have with your spouse? Do you think this mindset would make you more susceptible to cheating?

OP here. I am much, much happier when I stop caring so much. I think what's missing is my need to feel validated by my husband. I don't have that need anymore. It's nice and I appreciate it, but I don't need his approval and my happiness isn't contingent on his. We're different people. As for a connection, I think it's okay. We enjoy each other's company more, I think I have more fun now doing things I enjoy instead of doing things that will make him happy, and our sex life is alright.

I thought about the cheating and don't think that's really our issue. I think partially because my husband isn't someone who needs to validation constantly. He likes having a pleasant life and enjoys our time together from what I can see. I don't see him looking for greener pastures because he's dealing with another woman who suddenly has needs and wants and needs to be validated and feel important. It's just too much work from what I can tell.[/quote]
