Did any of you married women simply grow apart from your husband? No hating or fighting, just drifted apart by life events, he went one way sexually, you the other? Are you happy? What have you done about it, or what would you like to do about it?

Yes indeed. I am in the same situation. My husband of 7-1/2 years and I share 2 kids under the age of 7. We get along great, we enjoy each others company, but we are not in love with each other. We do not fight or argue. We have grown apart. We are know trying to get that back and finding that it is so far gone that we are questioning where to go from here. We are sad that it got to this point and wished we Had made our marriage a priority earlier. We are separated and contemplating divorce. At least it is on good terms,

Absolutely, we have been married for one year.We have drifted apart because he rules are marriage like a dictator instead of a Husband. Recently he has gotton a little better because he knows that I've reached my breaking point. But I know it's just a matter of time and he'll be back to his ways. So, I'm not really sure what to do. We do fight alot more than we use to, this is basically because we have grown apart and I'm sick of his crap. I'm not perfect and I'm sure that I do things that are annoying too.Nothing like giving you my life's story. Sorry you asked ? LOL

Yeah we have drifted, we used to live in a rural town for about eight years. He traveled to a town 45 miles one way to work and I went the other way to a town 20 miles away. Plus we had his three from a previous marriage and our two. So I was solely responsible for caring for our kids, homeschooling one of them, and taking care of the livestock so on and so forth. We live separate lives and yet we are married. He cheated on me at my 30th birthday party and things haven't ever been the same. We are half way trying to make it work. But it seems like one person tries and the other doesn't. No I am not happy but we have also been together for 12 years and married for 10. We are just room mates really. Sadly my dad agrees. What would you do? Oh yeah we moved to the town that was 45 miles away also, so now we are at least working and living in the same town.

several things could cause you to drift apart, like independent living. but you can get close again. Question is, are you willing to work on this relationship or are you seeing someone else? take time to inform each other about developments at work, make it a priority to go to church together and pray together. spend time catching up and save your marriage!

No, been married for 12 years and things are good. Communication is key, you should be able to say anything to each other without fear of judgement.
