Re: Emotional Betrayal

Yes, I am with my husband, because I have made a promise to him in front of God, to love him and be true to him.

I still love him, but in my heart I have betrayed him by developing an infatuation with another man.

When I compare the love I have for my husband, with the love I have for my brother, it is very similar. Is this what a marriage becomes after only 6 years?

I feel I am in the prime of my life, yet, I feel so unfulfilled by our marriage. Maybe this person I have met, is just a catalyst, sent to prompt me into action, and nothing more.

I realize something has to be done, but I am at lost what to do. I feel awful. I do not need the disruption that taking action will bring. My husband is a wonderful man, it is almost like being married to Mother Theresa. But, I feel I am always placed second when it comes to his job, and to his mother (Mother-in-law is another subject - we do not get along very well)

How do we get back the spark in our marriage? Lately, I do not even want to be intimate. I know he views it as 'work'. And subsequently, he lies on top of me with his full weight, just moving his pelvis. Sorry about the details :-(

I realize, that after a few years of marriage, things cool down a little, but is it normal to cool down to this extent? Tweet
