I'm married with two wonderful teenagers. My wife is hard working, intelligent, very good with money and the kids...everything one should want. And yet, I dream of being on my own away from her. It makes me cringe everytime she says "I love you". I hate it when she snuggles up to me. She needs so much more than I can give. I'm just so indifferent to her, and I dream all the time of being free. Not walking away from my kids, but just her. There are so many things I want to do in life and none of them involve her. In fact, it always feels like she is intruding on my life and I get so resentful. I even resent that she wants to spend time with me. Are these feelings common? Is this what marriage is about? I'm just so tired by trying to be someone I'm not. I get so depressed. Someone tell me if I should just be sucking it up and making the best of this, or if this is a sign I should be looking to move on.
