As we age we start to realize just what we want and crave in another. We seem harder to please because we've been thru so many tests, so many heartaches that we know that we deserve better than childish games...we deserve someone pretty damn close to our idea of perfection. A kind heart can be one's idea of perfection. A tender touch as well. Something so simple can become so hard to come by, when it really shouldn't be.
If I may, you need to focus your question more, from "Am I happy?" to "Am I happy with her?" Your answer to that revised question will tell you a lot I think.

Are you sure it's your relationship at the heart of this? Sometimes that kind of loneliness has a different, deeper source- and we only translate in questioning our relationships because that's where we expect to get our wholeness, or comfort from...

Since this is an old issue for you, perhaps a new approach is what you need. Remember to be patient with yourself while you consider this. It is a very big question. And you will reach a conclusion that makes sense when it's the right time for you. I think we forget that WE CHANGE! We go through things as life moves, or layers of things appear or are uncovered. I think half the trouble is we forget to move with it- we fight it. Or, we think that if we question something we haven't before about our lives- that means it must be bad, or not right for us anymore- when in reality, we may need to adjust our expectations to what is NOW reasonable to expect, or simply take stock of things and say "hmmm- yes, I still want that"...

@DeanNGone I think that is what it is.... Coz most of us couples think the same. Some are worse some are better, but that question that keeps popping up in the middle of the night is usually MLC!

Meditation, going for a walk, being somewhere that is peaceful...always helps. Hope you were able to quiet your mind some. Never easy to do.
