I want to get out of a 13year marriage with two kids. I know we can always be great parents and room mates but we csn never be in love anymore. But I am scared of being alone, scared of putting my kids through the separation when everything is ok for them now. All of this makes me anxious and depressed and I really don't know what to do

I’m in a similar situation. Been married to my hubby 16 years. Have 3 kids. Great parents together and we enjoy watching tv and eating out together but that’s about it. I don’t desire sex very much and he doesn’t desire conversation very much. I’m thinking divorce or if he would agrees to a sexless marriage—a “parenting marriage”. That way we don’t have to give what we don’t feel what we can give. So I feel your pain, but am curious why you can’t be in love again.

Btw I know the confusion with the kids, how they’re ok now. Me getting a divorce would baffle them, and I fear them hating me. Our family life and marriage is good except for those 2 needs we really can’t meet together. If it weren’t for those 2 things. I just NEED a husband who never tires of talking, and I NEED a man I can give myself to emotionally during sex. I love the physical aspect of sex but not the emotional.
