I’ve been married for ten years now, and we have two kids together. The marriage has been nothing but perfect, or so I thought. I have lost feelings for him, I’ve told him, and he wants to make things work. I’m not sure what to do?

Try marriage counseling, try things to rekindle the marriage, date nights, what made you fall in love with him? Revisit those things. It’s worth trying.

I find I have to look for sexy things other people would find sexy…and look for delights in service to him that I would miss if he were gone.And stuff like it…it opens your mind and heart…work on it…43 yrs and counting.

I am certainly not a relationship expert by any means. When I came across this post it really made me pause for a min. I found myself thinking about length, time and duration. I used to run cross country… The start was exciting and almost overwhelming. As my body got in to the rhythm of the run the initial excitment( to my muscles, lungs, and mind) settled. Mile after mile I would fine moments of doubt and weariness. Commitment, patience, and loyalty to my goal kept my feet going. The excitment would revive me and the familiarity of memory sustained me. No matter where I actually placed( though I like to win) my body mind and soul found peace in the training, work, and reward. The excitment was a bonus. If the entire run was to exciting it might have been to hard to go the distance. Good luck to you.

For me marriage isn’t just about emotion, are you good partners do you make progress in your lives together? Do you make each others lives easier? Emotions ebb and fade and come back. Having a solid partner by your side is what’s most important. Don’t get me wrong emotions are important too, I personally feel emotions just aren’t the most important.

Make an effort to find things you love or like if you still want to make it work. That length of a relationship doesn’t stay Rose’s and rainbows forever. Speaking from experience.

Marriages go through ups & downs… especially long term marriages. You fall in love, you fall out of love… what keeps you together is the friendship you have established throughout your years. That is your foundation. You CAN fall back in love again. It IS possible. Remember your vows. They’re written that way for a reason. No marriage is perfect. You need constant prayer - together & faith things will work out. But always remember your foundation & that alone may work your way back into love again.

Every marriage goes thru this! It’s easy to just walk away but u took wedding vows unless they didn’t mean anything to u! Stay and fight don’t give up! I’ve been with my husband for 28 years and we certainly have ups and downs every marriage does! Hell we don’t even like each other sometimes but that’s part of it too! The grass is NEVER greener on the other side! It can get better if u just try!!

Love fades in and out i have learned when it fades you have to make time for each other and di a whole month where you go out on dates every weekend or do fun date activities if you cant find a babysitter. Or you could try pick a week where you have sex every day but you have to put effort in like wearing sexy lingerie. You have to actually put effort in to make a marriage work going on 9 years here trust me its not easy

If you have a good man don’t lose him over something that could be temporary. Good men are few and far between. My brother and his wife got divorced 2 years ago because she felt the same way, now she regrets her decision and has asked if they could get back together. Try everything to rekindle the relationship you have with your husband. Relationships require work on both ends. Talk to him.
Emotions will lie to you. There are going to be ebbs and flows. Go to counseling and sit down and both talk through some things to do that will help. You owe it to yourself, your husband, and your children to put in the work to keep your marriage together.

Just so you know, the grass isn’t greener on the other side. You think you will be happier but its not always the case - especially because there aren’t big issues like drinking, violence etc. You’re kids WILL SUFFER if you get divorced, don’t be a fool.

Start dating again! EACH OTHER! not outside sources. Husband and wife. But make them dates. “Start over” spice it up. My husband and I have built so much together by doing this. We’ve grown a stronger connection in our souls and everything around us has come along with it as we’ve grown.
You know deep down how you feel, so do what you want. I knew after 10 years , but stayed for the kids, after 30 years I’m divorced, my only regret is wasting my life away with a man that is a toxic bully in front of his kids and doesn’t give a shit what they think about him (his words).
Commitment is a choice. You have to nurture your relationship like a damn flower. It doesnt just stay

The grass is greenest where you water it. You can turn your relationship around if you are willing to put in the work and effort and he is too. Reconnect. Date each other again. Go to therapy. Be intimate.

Love is not just a feeling it’s a choice. You don’t marry saying I promise to love you until I change my mind. These tough times you have to make the choice to love each other. You have to put in the extra effort. Unless there is abuse, and since you said it’s been nothing but perfect I don’t think there has been, you should work on it. If you keep searching for those “love feelings” you’ll just jump from relationship to relationship. Choose to love him. Choose to make your marriage a priority. Get back to the basics. Romance. Make sure you make time to be sexually intimate together. Date each other. Choose love.
Take a holiday alone. But no cheating oh, we don’t want stories after.

This happened to me. I couldn’t explain it. But I knew it wouldn’t be fair to stay. He’s happily moved on. ( very happy for him) I’m still single, and happy. We have two children and me and my ex have a great relationship now. Only you know how you feel. Good luck xx
I am fairly certain that his feelings for you have also changed. Love is a choice and commitment and not a feeling. We cannot walk around with a Prozac drip. You have two kids. What are you teaching them? The grass is not always greener. Water the grass you have and it will flourish.

It’s hard work being married for everyone. Work out what is behind your change in feelings. Is it something a bit of work from both parties can fix or does it run deeper than that? When we have kids at home we very much turn into mum and dad and things do change from what we were used to before. Spend some time together just as a couple and if you are unsure go and get some professional help so you don’t regret whatever choice you come to.

All marriages have good and bad years and feeling come and go. Marriage takes a lot of work. In today’s society people throw it away instead of working at it. You made a commitment is your word worth nothing. What about your kids having both parents together are nice and rare. And I’m hear to tell you the second marriage is never as good as the first. In the sense that you never give yourself completely in a second marriage you will guard yourself a little more not trust quite as much. So if you don’t want to work at it I hope you are lucky In The second.
Wow!! I tried 30 years to make a bad marriage work with a husband that didn’t love me. Who preferred to be out drinking and enjoying himself. If you have a good marriage and a good husband then cherish it!!! Remember the love you had when making those babies…look into yourself and find it again!!
Your always going to love him if his a good guy with a heart and he’s there for you and you got the things you need in life and he loves you your ok because now in day’s i see 
no good guy’s are out there they have no respect they only think themselves and there not going to love your kids the way you do
You got to really think about it if you let him play outside to long he might not want to come home and lose your best friend just think about it my son is going through it the kids are lost she lost the place apt now living in a one bedroom my son don’t want her now it was her choice he was with her for 14 years he gave her the car for the kids his not ugly but there no girls he likes his picking but he has a good job that keeps him busy he a body man that fixes cars and he did everything for her now she’s alone
my husband died 5 years ago i would give anything to have him back really think about what you are doing i was divorced for 15 years the grass is not better on the other side of the street
Date him. See him as a person your getting to know. Go do fun things together and date again. You have a family it isn’t about you anymore.

Do you know why you have lost your feelings for him? I would start with that. He apparently loves you still. No one can tell you what to do with your life, but if y’all have made it 10 years together there at least was something special and love. Right? You say the marriage was perfect, and now its not? Why because of the a way you feel?
Try marriage retreat or counseling. Too many people divorce for the dumbest reasons. Your children deserve you to make an effort to save the relationship.

My husband waited 6 years to marry me. He wanted to make sure I still liked him. Part of whats wrong with society is that we expect a movie ending and happy ever after. Its not reality. Relationships are work there are great parts bad part and everything in between.

Have you gained feelings for someone else? I agree that it is a choice we make to put in the effort to keep marriages happy. I also agree counseling, working on love languages, etc. can help but only if you’re fully committed and the reasoning is not due to outside forces.
You never have to stay if it don’t make you happy any more

This pandemic has definitely taken its toll on even the best of relationships. “How can I miss you if you won’t go away?” comes to mind.
Definitely seek marriage counseling before deciding to throw in the towel. If he has been honest, loving, loyal and a wonderful father, he deserves that much consideration.

Love is a choice. You chose him. You chose to love him. And then you chose to marry him. You don’t just wake up one day after 10 years of marriage and decide you don’t love him anymore. Go to counseling and try dating again.

Being married 31 years we made a deal, we cannot fall out of love at the same time. Love is a choice, and marriage is a commitment for sure but when raising kids, working and everything that goes into keeping life on track it’s easy to believe that things would be different and more exciting alone or with someone else, both may feel this throughout a marriage but usually not at the same time, so when one feels as you do, the others job is to love harder! Our marriage hasn’t been always easy but it’s much easier now that our daughters are 28/26, the normal family rearing stressors no longer cloud my choice to love this man forever!

Take time away from home and kids and every day life if you’re able travel
Do “bucket list” type activities. Slice up your intimate relationship
Try new things in and out of the home
Once a week cook together
Learn a new dance together

Remember the things that made you say “yes” to your husband; but at the same time, never forget that you should always say “yes” to your husband everyday. You should re-assess your communication, trust, and respect as a couple.
Don’t throw 10 years away w/out trying therapy. And think back to when you were courting… try some of those things again.

I personally feel that you left this too long… This is what happens when people dont communicate openly about where they are at… You dont just wake up one day and realise you dont have feelings anymore… You emotionally vacanted the relationship awhile ago and that is the point where you should have told him so there was still a glimmer of light… Your poor husband had no idea because he didnt know otherwise…

Unless he is abusive in some way I say stay. My husband and i have been together for 8 years, married 2. In 19 we went through a rough patch and I left. We split for 4 months. And it opened my eyes so much. I love my husband and he is the best man I will ever find. We had to go back and remember why we fell in love. On a serious note try Counseling before you split. Bc if you do leave, you can’t change the hurt and memories of you leaving if you do end up regretting it later on. Bc believe me I regret hurting my husband and the memories my son has of mommy living here and daddy living there. The memories I have of my son going home with his dad and looking at me so confused about why I wasn’t coming home. And him asking me “why can’t you come home mommy” it’s fucking heartbreaking. And I would never wish that on anyone, ever. It haunts me bc I’m the one who caused all of this hurt bc I was selfish. Trust me, you don’t want that unless there is a damn good reason to leave.
You say the marriage seems perfect yet you just lost feeling. Personal advice on this what kind of lifestyle are you living? What are some stress in your life. I have found out that feelings for people tend to change in the situation you’re in I have found out if you’re unhappy in your own life you’re not gonna be happy with anybody else who steps into it. So my advice to you before leaving would try to make yourSituation better first
For example I was very depressed in my marriage for a while and I started to question did I even love my husband anymore. Well I started to focus more on myself so I would forget about him and while doing that my life got better and when I was happier my feelings went from being gone to intensifying when he was around

I’d try and rekindle and salvage if it’s worth trying to save if it’s really not going to work or go anywhere do what’s best for you…
Marriage keeps you together until you fall in love again.
Stay. Work it out. Feelings are fleeting.
