[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you been married? You say teens so assuming 20 yrs? I can relate a bit as my dh and I sound a bit like your dynamic as not that compatible BUT we do love each other and are truly each other’s best friend. Reflecting back we were never compatible but somehow ended up together😀.

We also talk a lot about the dcs, but we also like to travel now that we have freedom to do so on our schedule so we talk about that. We started researching retirement areas and second homes so that is often a discussion; we talk about world events, an interesting article, family.  We don’t do many activities together unless dinner with friends (and we do go out together as a couple as well), or walk the dog.

I love outdoors, sports, exercise, nice restaurants, ethnic food. He does not. I do what I can alone or with friends, he’s willing to do so occasionally, and now that our dcs are older one loves to do things and eat at great restaurants with me. Obviously I don’t know your situation, and your feelings of loneliness should not be discounted, but I do think in many, many relationships what you and I describe is the norm. No answers just letting you know you are not alone.[/quote]

NP here and I am in a similar boat too. Married 18 years, kids are 14 and 11. I do love him and don't want to split up or disrupt our kids, even once they are adults. I also don't have any energy or desire to date anyone else, nor do I want to live alone. So here I am. [/quote]

And evidence shows that divorce doesn't actually make folks happier. (Usually). I am in a similar situation, but no reason to rock the boat?[/quote]

Same situation and kids almost same age. I think if I travel for work and had the opportunity for an affair on the road it would satisfy the unmet needs at home? Seems so much easier than divorce [/quote]
