5 year marriage and my love is fading

Question - (13 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 13 March 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Ok, here it goes. I have been married for almost five years. For those past five years, my attraction to my husband has faded. I have tried so many different things to spice up our relationship. Nothing has worked. During those five years, I have never really looked at anyone else. Recently, that has changed. I can't stop thinking about this other guy. I haven't felt an attraction like this since I met my husband almost 10 years ago. I have never cheated on my husband or anyone else for that matter. However, I don't know what I would do if the other guy made any kind of advancement. I just feel lost and with no one to talk to. I love my husband. I couldn't ask for a better husband. Is there something wrong with me?

passionatelynumb agony auntEveryone gets bored in a relationship at one point or another.

That being said,please, please, please don't cheat on your husband. If you love him at all you wouldn't do that to him.

If your husband is a great as you say he is, and you still can't keep from indulging yourself with the shiny new toy that's popped in your life, then go ahead and leave your husband. He deserves better.

Here is a really great article for someone who's having trouble with boredom in her marraige.

enjoimx agony auntNo there is nothing wrong with you AT ALL. But before something happens with this new guy, you should take a good hard look at yourself and figure out what you want. My guess is, if you have an affair, it will be a fleeting experience and will definately have negative effects on your life, health, marriage.

Now your marriage not working is a whole different issue! you need to bring this up with your husband and be brutally honest. Either tell him you are not happy and you are committed to working with him to fix that, or tell him you are unhappy and you dont think it can be fixed.

Good luck
