I think my wife just puts up with me so we don't fight!

Question - (16 July 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 16 July 2010)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I love my wife dearly, we have been married for almost 14 years now, but she recently has told me that she "loves" me, but she's not "in love" with me anymore. I am beginning to lose sight of my marriage, I feel that anything that I do now is just routine and does not make her happy. I am convinced that she just puts up with me so that we do not argue. I am still very in love with her, but as time goes by, I feel that she no longer wants to connect with me.

We don't talk as much anymore and I'm consistently getting in trouble for things that I did and did not say and even do. My heart aches as I type this from my phone within my car.

What can I do?

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (16 July 2010):

I would sit her down and say that you love you very much, but you're concerned that she appears to be thinking that the marriage is routine. Explain to her that you're worried, and that you'd like to inject some passion and love back into it to make sure you don't lose her because she means that much to you. Suggest that you start to do things together, such as dates and all that, so that you don't lose her. She seems as if she's not feeling important, or that the effort seems to have gone. So explain that she is still number one in your life and you want to try to sort the marriage out now, before it loses its way. If she's not up for fixing it, then it may be too late.
