Reigniting Romance in Your Relationship

Quote From: pnklmnad03

  I'm so sad. I've been married for 12 years and we are near divorce. I feel like he has put a wall between us and I can't get through. There has been no intamacy in months. No togetherness. He says I want him to be someone he's not but I only ask for honesty, respect, and affection. He told me he's all out of it. I can't figure out when we went wrong. How do I get back inside his heart? We have 3 young kids and never any alone time. Even if we were alone I'm not sure how we would react to one another. I truly want my marriage to work. Just don't know where to start.

 It sounds like I could of written the last part of your post. My husband and I have 3 children as well, ages 6,4 and 20 months. It seemed like we were in a rut, argued every day after our anniversary until 2 days ago. It gave me this awful feeling that he didn't want to be here anymore and that there was just too much pressure for him now. I just turned the TV off one night and I poured my heart out to him. When he saw how much hurt I was in from all the crap that had  been going on between us, he took a second look at how he was treating me. We don't have the time or money to go out on dates (no matter how much I would love to!!) We instead make special dinner nights... we will make the kids something and then after they go to bed we make something special for us. Sometimes we eat by candle light. It has given me the feeling that I am special to this man and he is willing to meet me half way. I would try to start with after the kids go to bed, turn the TV off and just talk about your day with each other. You will be surprised how much you will be able to talk about just by asking "How was your day?"

Ask Richard Woods he is the Dr. Phil on this page. hehe Really since I'm so not good at this I would say or the sake of saying something to grab him and tell him the two of you are going out of town. Oh You know what you should do...okay listen up! Loose some weight and quick! Have a glass of wine so you can act really outgoing but to where you are in control and know what your doing and put on your suit and tell him to put on his and go swimming. The water in my opinion is the most relaxing romantic feeling ever but ummm I guess it would not be all about me, figure out what he likes to do too and do that. It never fails putting something sexy on and blasting some good tunes. Good luck!

Unfortunatly I know how you feel. I have been married almost 22 years and we seem to have grown farther and farther apart. I asked him to leave several times over the past few years and he did last month. We still see each other and talk, but never about anything important because I end up upset and he can't handle it. I really feel like he may be depressed or in some kind of 'mid-life crisis'. We have had problems like any other couple, but I just don't know how it got to this point. Ours kids our older, so we can spend time alone, but it seems like he never wants to. I am like you, all I really want is some affection. We have talked about counselling, but I am still waiting for him to be 'ready'. I try to stay in a good mood when I talk to him and tell him I love him, but it's hard not knowing where all this is going. I am sorry I have nothing to say to help. I am sad too.
