[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] have small children and feel obligated to raise them in an intact family. How is it unhealthy to stay? other than the fact I will always long for a romantic partner, I’m not happy, but I made my bed. I willingly went into this. My husband isn’t a bad guy, there’s just no spark and never has been. Where would I even begin alone, mid 40s with small kids, i am cute but am no catch. I would have to be delusional to believe that I could find a decent man at this point. I have a crush on a married man who, for all I know, is most likely madly in love with his wife.[/quote]

You knowingly chose this, and unless you disclosed it to your DH prior to marriage, he is the one I feel really badly for.  He should be able to expect that his spouse adores him.[/quote]
Yes, I chose this 20+ years ago for various reasons, being in love wasn’t one,  I have a family now and it is what it is. There are worse things than my situation obviously, but I keep feeling pangs of jealousy toward happily married couples. I keep thinking I could have had that, I should have had that. Maybe I am being selfish and immature but it’s not fair. The only way I could possibly feel that is if I broke up my family first and then hoped to find someone. That’s never going to be part of my life, I need to make the most of what I have. I just have periods where I breakdown and feel sorry for myself. [/quote]

How do you know that these " happily married couples" are not in the same shoes as you are? You can't really tell by looking at them.

You really are going through a midlife crisis. Wake the hell up![/quote]
