[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your options?

I’m in a fine marriage. I love my husband and adore him. But he’s also so childish, immature and annoying. I do not feel deep respect or admire him. He never gets me or understands me on a fundamental level. But we have a good partnership and a life better than most.

I get sick in my stomach when I see couples who are deeply in love and have that connection.

You can feel it in their presence!

Is it worth it to throw your life away hoping to chase it? Or give in and find other sources of contentment? [/quote]

OP you are in a difficult situation, but I encourage you to stick with it. I was in a deep love relationship for several years. I am now very happily married although the feeling is different from my previous relationship. DH and I so much more compatible even though he probably does not 'get' me the same way my ex did. I knew right away that DH was a much more suitable life partner and I love him more because of it.

Many times the connection for the intense feeling relationships that you are describing is a result of being equally broken.

However, it is easy for me to tell you 'it's not worth it' having been through the experience. It was very emotionally intense and while it was not the right relationship for me in the long term, I do not regret it. Also, it is concerning that you do not respect your DH. Perhaps he is not the right man for you for other reasons. I wish you the best. [/quote]
