Stuck…
I’ve been with my wife for 5 years but I’m not really happy anymore and can’t get over the fact that I lowered my standards so low just to be loved. Will I ever find the one and truly be happy. Or will I continue with this relationship because it’s what safe for our little family
Hello @Adorableduck
It sounds like you are in a difficult situation. While I don't know what it is like to be in this situation, please know that my heart goes out to you. I am wishing you luck and peace <3
Having a strong relationship requires you to be open and honest about your feelings with one another. I will encourage you to discuss the subject with her and see if there are any flames to rekindle or perhaps, to figure out the best arrangements between the two of you. While it is nice to be able to save the relationship, it's also sometimes not best for a variety of reasons. And I really think sometimes new ideas can come from the difficult conversations have with each other. Maybe you will find a lot of answers about yourself and herself and shed new light regarding what you can do. Best wishes regardless of how you choose your way forward and I hope you will get to a better place mentally as time goes on.
