New to all of this
I dot know if you can help. I feel trapped in a marriage where we have gone in different directions but I know she can’t live without me ( financially) and I wouldn’t hurt her for anything so I allow myself to be miserable

You seem like such a nice person 💚
My heart goes out to you.
This is such a difficult situation because you deserve to feel loved and cared for and not trapped, as life is too short.
An honest , difficult conversation might need to be had, where you can both try to see a solution or way through, that won't hurt either of you.
Genuinely wishing you the best 💚
@faithfulNickel8881 I agree with @Amanda84
You might need to start an honest conversation.. I would suggest to start stalking openly about your feelings for her, that way you would be opening on a good note, then a descripcion of your perception of the relationship and then your intention of wanting to reconnect (I perceived that is what you would want) And then let her say her part...
from time to time remind her of your feelings, in order to keep the conversation in that context
have a hug and good luck 😊
