Marriage problems - advice needed
I'm 30 with 2 kids aged 5 and 2. I've been with my partner for 11 years,
married for 7. Maybe I am going through a mid-life crisis but I feel like an old woman. Our sex life has been bad almost since the start of our relationship but that didn't seem to matter as we always enjoyed each other's company. Now we have the kids it seems more important somehow. I do love him and can see us being together when we are old age pensioners but at the moment I am not happy. I slept with someone else a couple of weeks ago and it was fantastic. He was 24 and we were at it for hours, he made me excited and I've not been able to stop thinking about him. I told this guy I was married and that it was a one night stand, I don't have any intention of seeing him again but it's made me feel like a sexual being again. He seemed really keen on me and said really nice things, not only that but we were talking about things and he was nice to spend time with. I don't want to go down the road of cheating on my husband as I've never done this before but I set out to have sex that night to prove to myself that I could have good sex - and I did! I don't feel sexually attracted to him anymore although I love him. Also he works a lot and is always in a bad mood. According to him he is 90% happy with our relationship and this makes me feel guilty. I married him for all the right reasons and we have 2 lovely kids (who are hard work). I couldn't think of a better father, we wanted the kids and they are loved by both of us. I feel as though I cannot guarantee my faithfulness now that I have done it once and he doesn't deserve that. I am also scared of being a single parent because I don't know anyone else in this situation, what would I do? How would I cope? I seem to have more time for the kids when he is not around so maybe they would be better off. Is it better to stay in this marriage and have flings on the side hoping that it's just a phase? or should we split up and go our seperate ways? To make matters worse we have a mortgage etc.. I don't really want to move my kids when they are settled here. Am I crazy? What should I do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- |

How incredibly selfish.......you've broken your marriage vows, and yet you expect to move and take the kids with you. Do everybody a favor......leave the kids with their father, and YOU move out....... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ---- |

It was great because it was new and different and against the rules. It wouldn't be great if you'd been with him for 11 years, if you treated him the way you treat your husband. I don't want to go down the road of cheating on my husband Too late. as I've never done this before but I set out to have sex that night to prove to myself that I could have good sex - and I did! I don't feel sexually attracted to him anymore although I love him. Perhaps he's not sexually attracted to you. Also he works a lot and is always in a bad mood. Perhaps you should work more so he can work less. According to him he is 90% happy with our relationship and this makes me feel guilty. Perhaps that's because he's doing 90% of the work and you know it. I married him for all the right reasons and we have 2 lovely kids (who are hard work). Did he marry you for the right reasons? Do those reasons still exist for him? I couldn't think of a better father, we wanted the kids and they are loved by both of us. There couldn't *be* a better father, as he's their only father. I feel as though I cannot guarantee my faithfulness now that I have done it once and he doesn't deserve that. He doesn't. You're right about that. Your children don't deserve it either. I am also scared of being a single parent because I don't know anyone else in this situation, what would I do? How would I cope? I seem to have more time for the kids when he is not around so maybe they would be better off. What makes you think the kids would live with you? You have not proved yourself to be true to your word, and he's a hardworking father. Is it better to stay in this marriage and have flings on the side hoping that it's just a phase? Absolutely not. or should we split up and go our seperate ways? To make matters worse we have a mortgage etc.. I don't really want to move my kids when they are settled here. Why should your children have to move just because you're bored and selfish and too lazy to do the work any mature relationship requires? Am I crazy? What should I do? You should talk to your husband and find a therapist. lm |

I really do. If the sex is lousy after only 11 years, imagine what it'll be like in another 40. You can't change things without his cooperation but you can seek counseling for whatever it is that's going on in your head that makes you want to cheat. 'Kate Thanks for your replys although they haven't been anymore than a slagging off. What's a troll anyway? My husband does not do 90% of the work, I also work in the evenings and do all the housework - he does the dishes occasionally. I am a dovoted mother to my children and there is no question of the fact that they will be with me. They would notice that I was no there more than if he wasn't. I don't think anyone has been very understanding - How would you feel having sexual problems for 11 years? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- |

I still think you are a troll but in case you are not
My husband does not do 90% of the work, I also work in the evenings and do all the housework - he does the dishes occasionally oh boo hoo. Do you realize you are talking to SINGLE PARENTS who do 200% of the housework, childraising, and financial support? And you are whining because your husband doesn't help around the housework and you don't like having sex him. Wah wah wah. Your kids need both parents home and they don't give a rats ass if you are sexually satisfied. Maybe if you stopped whining and complaining and criticizing your husband and complimented him once in a while and tried pleasing him in bed he might return the favor. Now please go away until you continue your selfishness and end up being a single parent. Joelle The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page - St Augustine Joelle |

Joelle, with your attitude it's no wonder your a single parent. What man
could put up with you? and no I won't go away because not everyone has your dismissive attitude. I came her with a real problem hoping to get some advice from people who are in the situation of being a single parent. I don't mistreat my husband and I do compliment him, if I didn't why would he say he was 90% happy with our relationship? "Joelle" wrote in message ...
