I Am Married But Lonely

So how do you all handle the loneliness? A hobby? Lol! I don’t really have time for extravagant hobbies, we have 4 young kids and I have a thriving business. We tried counseling and he’s not interested in it. He’s perfectly happy, I’m the only one who feels like it’s not working anymore, but I want to make it work for our kiddos, and he is special to me, used to be my best friend, he’s just not interested in relationship or intimacy anymore.

I truly believe in making sacrifices to keep a marriage but I stayed in a loveless one for 25 years for the sake of the kids who I basically raised by myself. When I couldn't take no more I left. The kids (now older and had their own lives) somehow resented me for leaving their mother and cut me off. Wish I had left when they were young and ironically would have been better for them. I made exceptions and tried to convince myself every day that she would change and show some interest and love but all I was doing was fooling myself. There's love out there for you, which is closer than you could ever imagine.
