Not in love with my husband after 20 years

Suggest Advice

Do you have some advice for this person?

Visitor's Question:
I met my husband when I was sixteen and married him when I was twenty three. We have one child that now is eighteen. Over the past year I have noticed my feelings are fading for my husband. I love him but I am no longer in love with him. He has a medical condition which has effected our sex life for the past few years. We do very little together, including talking. In the past few months I have become very close to a co-worker. My feelings for this person is becoming stronger. He makes me laugh and I enjoy his company. We have not become sexual involved but there is strong temptation. Both my self and co-worker are christians and we both know Gods word on marriages. I feel so emotional confused. Am I to stay in my marriage unhappy for the rest of my life because its the thing to do or ask my husband for a divorce and end both of our unhappyness. Yes, I do not think my husband is happy either. Any advise would grealy be appreciated.




Our Suggestion:
My advice is to seek counseling from your pastor, perhaps you alone at first and then if it seems like a good idea, add your husband to the counseling.

It seems like your marriage is a lost cause and maybe a divorce is in order. However you need to talk it over in depth with someone you trust. If your pastor is not available, then seek out a therapist from friends' recommendation or the yellow pages.

There is no reason for you to exist in misery. Do something about this right away.

Good luck! George
