Hello,
I just wanted to share this as I can't say it to anyone in my life - as I don't have anyone anymore who I can really open up to on this. The passion has been gone for me from my marriage for a number of years now, I like my wife as a person and don't want to hurt her but I have zero interest in her romantically anymore, but we have a child I adore and I know if I leave I won't be able to survive the depression and loneliness from not seeing my kid for probably 4 or 5 days a week - I just can't face it. My wife is still is in love with me and she seems blind to the reality of our situation or else she's ignoring it, we don't argue much at get on reasonably well - give each other a lot of space. I'm in my 30's so I figure try and hold out until my kid reaches her mid / late teens and by then she can choose for herself and she can see me as much as she wants. Thing is that's about 15 years away and it's hard to stay in a marriage which is essentially dead for me. But even the thought of not living with my child everyday is horrifying for me. Anyone else have experience like this?
