Unsure what to do….
Relationship Stress / by clementinelover14

...See more I have been with my husband for 12 years (married for 5). We began dating in school, I was only 15 and he was 16- so very young, which in hindsight, meant that we didn’t get to experience many things that other people do. We were very much in love at one point and have 2 beautiful children together who are our entire world. For a few months now I have really struggled with my feelings for him and I know that I no longer love him. He is an amazing father and husband but I cannot make these feelings of love return no matter how much I try. I am an Empath, and so struggle greatly with feelings of guilt, conflict and the thought of hurting someone..which is why I am struggling so very much to have the conversation with my husband, or anyone at all, about what is going on inside. I don’t know what path to take. Do I continue on even and hope these feelings return or do I pluck up the courage to talk about this with him? The answer is obvious isn’t it, however he is not an easy man to talk to and we hardly have any conversation between us at all even on the best of days. No sex life. No affection. No fun. Unfair sharing of chores. Unfair parenting. We simply live together and go through the usual everyday things that parents do, focusing entirely on our children and without much thought for each other. My husband doesn’t show emotion whereas I am a very emotional and passionate person. I can’t bare the thought of being this stuck forever. I would do it for my children of course. But is this normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I just want to feel love again.
