Love help: I am married to a wonderful woman, but I have no idea why I cant love her anymore. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I am married to a wonderful woman, but I have no idea why I cant love her anymore.

I try to force it, but I cant be emotionally close to her. We have been through an affair (on my part and hers) and now her (very wealthy) parents have disowned me and my 2 boys, whom I have custody of. I am not an ugly guy, and I have a good career. I just cant imagine the thought of being alone at age 40. She is very beautiful, and that alone makes me so confused as to why I cant open up and love her anymore.

“She is very beautiful, and that alone makes me so confused as to why I cant open up and love her anymore”. Loving her beauty isn’t loving her personality. Maybe you’ve loved her for her looks for as long as that train would take you.

What’s a relationship when there are no emotions exchanged…. you need to rethink or talk to eachother to re-evaluate your marriage. Im getting the feeling something is getting in the way of your marriage, whether its time or another element…

Well - you said you both cheated on each other.
Her parents will have nothing to do with you and your sons.
I am guessing - you’ve had enough.
Maybe just time to move on?
Looks arent everything. And, frankly, to stay together just because you dont want to be alone - not a very good idea.
