I have a friend (this is about a friend, not me) who is going through a rough patch with her marriage. They aren’t fighting, things are just ‘blah.’ She and her husband don’t seem to have a husband-wife relationship. Instead, it’s more a friendship. Actually, that’s not it, either. It’s more of a business. They don’t have the same interests. They don’t do the little things to show each other they care.
She now has to decide what to do. Does she keep living life this way or does she separate from her husband? They have three kids. They own a house. They’ve been together for almost 15 years. All of this keeps her from wanting to consider living her life another way. But is it worth living when you aren’t happy?
It should be noted that she and her husband have tried marriage counseling, on and off, for years.
I wish I could say something to help her. I like her husband. But I also see the difference in her personality when she’s around him. She’s not the same person. Sometimes marriages just don’t work. No one did anything wrong. It’s just time to end.
