I Am Married But Lonely

I know how you feel. After 15 years I was pretty much in your shoes. I met someone at work and the butterflies came back. I couldn't wait for the weekend to be over ap I could see her again. In retrospect it was very infantile from me and nothing ever came out of it,even though we were very good friends. It was wasted time pursuing dreams that wasted my mental energy and pushed me even farther from my partner. I finally sat down and I thought I was doing her a favor by explaining to her how I felt. Instead she told me I was hurting her and that I played the blame game. And she felt I always blamed everything on her. We are still working on it. But I totally understand how you felt. I imagine she has given you the best years of her life. She has given you beautiful children and I assume she was a good mother to your children, right? You at the very least owe her that. Let her know you appreciate all the years she has given you. Praise her every chance you get. I challenge YOU to make Make her feel those same butterflies in the stomach feeling when she sees you. Do her chores without her having to ask you. Open the car door for her. Make her feel like she is 20 once again. You may feel 20 yourself once again :)
