My marriage is in trouble. What should I do?

Tagged as: Family, Marriage problems, Troubled relationships<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (17 April 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 April 2009)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been with the same woman for over three years. We have a little girl and we have been married for over a year. I'm sick of it.

She has literally sucked the life right of me. It has been over a year since I have played golf, been fishing, or been hunting. Those used to be my passions.

Now I spend my days on the couch watching TLC. I refuse to even have sex with her anymore, which adds to her nagging (which is terrible). We both work and have stressful jobs, but I leave my work at work.

However, I have no idea what I would do without my daughter. I'm willing to be absolutely miserable for her sake, but one day she'll be old enough to realize that I am. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like you need to schedule "tee" time and plan a hunting trip. You must make yourself happy, and a happy wife makes a happy home and a well-adjusted child. For the sake of yourself, your wife and your child, you need to speak with a marriage counsellor, pastor, priest, etc., either alone, or with your wife. If you love your daughter, you will do your best to make the marriage work.

You don't give any information on WHY you have stopped doing these things, why things have changed and why you don't want to have sex with her.

I very much doubt she has a gun to your head saying "SIT ON THE SOFA AND DO NOTHING!!!"

What have you done to save this marriage? What have you done to make this an equal relationship where you look after the house and kid so she can go off for a girly shopping day with her mates, and then next weekend, you can disappear into the woods and annihilate some local wildlife with your friends?

You can't just come on here and say you are miserable because of your wife. You are in charge of your own life, so give us some details of the actual problems so we can help you sort out your marriage.

Good Luck!! xx
