A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Sigh... I started out young, I have a 11 year old son and 7 year old daughter, like late teens. I thought I was doing the right thing by getting married and well, things didn't get much better. So I thought, you know, maybe if I move us all into our own house, stop renting, that things will become even better. So I bought us a house at 27. Now 3 years later it seems like there is just no happiness there and I'm at a loss.

We have grown into two different individuals. I'm concerned about the earth, I enjoy the outdoors, I enjoy life. She is more worried about tents, and not any tents, but the kind that say SALE on them. It drives me crazy. And then a week ago I met someone that lives in our town and it seems like we're two souls with a connection. I haven't had sex with her but I won't say there isn't a connection there. So I'm at a loss. Part of me wants to leave my wife, continue to pay the mortgage so she and the kids can stay in the house but move myself out. I want her to be happy and I don't believe I do that, and I myself want to be happy. Not because I'm selfish, I just feel as if my children will see in the longrun that happiness matters to everyone. HELP! I Don't know where to go with this!!!!

Hi Hunny,

We all have the right to be happy, and you have tryed everything love you have provided but as you said your interests and your wifes are different, I take it you have spoken to her about how you feel as if it were me id want to know I really wouldnt feel very good about myself if my husband was so unhappy.

Before you get involved more with this friend hunny I would be honest of your feelings of unhappiness and tell your wife just how you feel, Its sad when a marriage ends but if you really feel no love in this relationship then you have to do whats right for both of you love, Hope this helped a little take care with love MANDY xxxxxx

flower girl agony auntWe all make mistakes and i would have to agree that we all need to be happy and there is not alot of point staying in a relationship if you are not both happy.

Most children, although it is hard for them to deal with do get used to things in time, if you can be amicable with each other and share the responsibilities.

Take care.xx.
