I Am Married But Lonely

the wife spends so much energy criticizing me rather than cultivating our relationship. I know I'm not perfect, but she takes it to a new level. Then last month a new girl at work catches my attention, and vice versa - all of a sudden I remember how it felt to be young and painfully stressed out about whether a girl will say 'yes' to a first date.

Life's too short. I'm not telling you what to do, but if you were my dad or another male relative or friend, I'd say end what's pretty much finished and go for it.

@PrettyLesley but really, all it takes is like one of those 4fuckingAm in the morning talks. The serious ones that let your partner know that it's important to talk before talk is too late.🤔

@Montanaman 👍️ Well-said. Hope he read your comment & would act on it sincerely.

I completely agree! The happiest marriages I see, at my age, are the ones of those who finally got divorced from their first marrriages that occurred when they were too young to know better. Now they are older and have a better understanding of what they want and need and found a much better match for themselves. @PrettyLesley @PrettyLesley
