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.

Humbled by all the replies to my OP. I only posted originally because I felt the need to write down my feelings. I didn't expect any replies, let alone so many. It is comforting to know people on this site will make the effort to give advice.

Multiple replies were difficult to read because they made me feel pretty bad and in-the-wrong. But I appreciate those nonetheless - and I do read them and take the advice to heart.

Several replies stressed the need for communication in a marriage. I want to reassure everybody that has been tried (and continues - I'm not giving up)

I found SW yesterday (I was looking for something like Experience Project, which I used years ago). This was my first serious post, and I am impressed with the quantity and quality of feedback.

@vorpido 👍️ Its great to note that you ain't giving up yet. Try watching the movie again just in case it has already been seen - link posted by the user Montanaman.
