I have been married for 6 years and I am not in love with my husband. We are more like roomates then lovers. We have 2 kids and that is making it harder for me to leave him. I have been so unhappy for so long I need to take my life back. I don't get even my basic needs met in this relationship and havent for years. I have taken it in and supressed it for so long I just can't take any more. i don't know what to do. I am so worried about not surviving out there on my oun with my kids. I want them to have as smooth a transition as possible and have no idea how to do that.

When I met my husband I was on the rebound from a relationship that lasted lamost 5 years. i was deeply in love with that man and it ended because he did a stupid thing one night and alomst cheeted on me.....he went as far as almost having sex but backed out because he felt guilty. Because of this guilt he did not feel it was fair to have sex with me. He never realized that this rejection was what killed the relationship. Even though we were not having sex we were still intamate. I am the type of person that needs touch and cuddeling, romance and all that good stuff. He continued all of that we just did not have sex. I never liked the way we ended things and neighter did he. But we still allowed it all to happen and found other people. Now I am misserable and think I am still in love with him.
He made contact with me reciently and we have been talking and plan to meet but I do not know what he wants to get out of it. He is married as well but I was told by an old friend that they were not happy but he has not told me that. I have always dreamt that one day we would reconnect but never thought that we would both be married with kids. My timeing sucks and I am afraid to find out that he will be nothing more than a friend. I truley think we were ment to be together. He has everything that I am missing right now and I never once had to ask him for it. I can't even drag it out of my husband.

I need HELP!!!

I have a few questions for you....are you feeling more so like this because the other man contacted you? Why would he contact you if he is married and have you agreed to meet with him? Why did you chose to marry another man if you don't love that person?

You said this other man cheated on you and from that point on you never had sex. Something is certainly wrong with that picture because if he's not getting it from you, he's getting it from someone else. Why was he so willing to cheat on you, are you sure he stopped? It seems like the best thing that happened to you was to get away from him. You seem to have a personal issue as well and that is lack of communication. Perhaps things would have been different if you were open and honest about how you felt. But you kept all that to yourself and allowed him to rule you in some ways.

Now 6 years later, you're married and not even in love with him. Do you talk to him. If you have issues, you need to discuss them and let him do the same. Keep an open mind. This man is the father to your children. You had to have loved him at some point. If you don't have the courage to talk to him, get help. I was in a similar situation with my hubby. I didn't know how to talk to him. We have been married for almost 4 years and our marriage just gets better and better. You have to realize here that it's not about YOU, that changed the day you got married, you have a partner and you need to show him that as well. How is he as a father? None of us are perfect, but if he is a good father and good husband to you, that's a great foundation.

If the love is there deep down, rekindle it, don't let this other man come back into your life just to walk away or cheat on you again. Talk to you husband about your basic needs and what they mean to you. I had to clue my hubby in on that one. If you look close enough, you see the pattern in both relationships that neither men fulfilled your needs. You really need to work out who you are and what you want and find a way to share that.

If you do find you must leave your husband, it can be done. But give yourself some time before moving on to a new relationship. The bottom line is, you are currently married and so is this other man. Being unhappy isn't the green light to have an affair. If you do ever remarry, you want to know that your marriage is safe and secure and loving. YOu don't want to worry that if your husband isn't happy, will he cheat?

Sorry so long. Be strong and think about what is best for you and your children. I hope I haven't stepped on your toes, I don't know your whole situation.

Best wishes.

Well if he is married and unhappy and seeking you out,i think the reason is obvious! He probably wants to know if you are as unhappy in your marriage as he is his and hopes that if you are then maybe you two can rekindle something! I think this ia exactly what he wants! Sounds like your dreams could be comming true afterall!?
