OP: keep his interest.  No one can say how to do that, except you.  But whatever it means for the two of you, stay interested.

So many divorcées repeat the phrase: “we drifted apart” - and I think that should be a lesson for the rest of us: stay interested and stay interesting to each other.

For me: my “type” is a very smart woman.  I married well: my wife is brilliant, and that is what I need to stay interested.

I will add:  don’t let your love for your children result in abandoning your love for your husband (I’ve seen that happen to women in couples we know).  Keep that marital bond as strong as you can. [/quote]

They use that phrase because they are not going to tell you the real reason for the divorce. It is almost never “we drifted apart.” [/quote]

Eh I disagree. If a partner strays, or wants to stray, I think quite often the "drifting apart" came before that. [/quote]

It is not always cheating at all or just "drifting apart." a lot of times, the marriage was a mistake to begin with, a bad match, people stayed for kids only, for finances only, for appearances only, and/or it was emotinally abusive, sexless, mental illness, the list goes on. People are not going to advertise all of those reasons and the easiest way to shut people up is to say "drifted apart."[/quote]

Which is kind of ironic. Because implying you gave up on your marriage for no good reason makes you sound way worse than if there were actually a reason. [/quote]
