[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We love each other, but it feels more platonic, more so on my end. Sex has been infrequent for years and there is limited affection otherwise. We both would like more, but if I’m honest, I pull away from him.

[b]I don’t want to feel this way. He’s wonderful. Attentive (probably too attentive), a great father, an equal partner, intelligent, and so handsome, even! But we don’t really connect, aside from having similar political views, enjoying nice dinners, and traveling.

We have a nice life. And a child under 10. But I feel like this is a pretend marriage, and I don’t know if I can do it for another decade. But…our child…

He knows how I feel, and there’s talk of opening up the marriage. I’m not particularly looking for a sexual relationship for the sake of having sex. But I want him to be happy, even if it’s without me.

I know I’ve broken his heart. And I feel terrible. I wish I could be that person for him. And I keep hoping that something will click with therapy, time, and having honest conversations.

I suppose I’m just venting. [/quote]

Have you gone to therapy to explore why you are sabotaging this wet dream of a marriage?

Okay, maybe not wet dream - but it sounds better than 90% of the marriages I’ve seen, and I have seen many and worked in family and criminal courts. It certainly doesn’t sound like you should be divorcing. You should be working on your issues so you can recommit to a healthy and otherwise functional marriage.
