Not going well, is it?

By tedfragle - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom - Bournemouth

Today, I realised that as I get closer to home, I drive slower and slower so I'm away from my husband for longer. FML

If you just now realized this, it's probably not too late OP. You should try and find out the issue and hopefully a solution.

Marriage is sacred. I'd do everything in my power to make my relationship strong again. Sit down and talk, if that doesn't go anywhere, marriage counseling.

Talk to him; if you want him to bend you over the kitchen table, tell him. Men are NOT good with subtle hints

That is a red flag right there op. I feel if you do things to potentials avoid you significant other you have obviously fallen out of love which yes can be and is in many cases sad and painful. But, I feel you owe it to your selfs to either find a way to work through the issues you two have or just end it if you are in fact that miserable. But speak up no one wants to keep things bottled up. Best of luck op!

"falling out of love" just means the drugs wore off. Love is a choice, not some mystical feeling. If you love your spouse, you will do f-ing everything to find a way to make things better. You will work hard when you want to give up. You will suffer to bring your marriage into joy. Marriage means commuting to love someone until one of you dies so you're either going to give them your best, or plan a careful and untraceable murder- but leaving is NOT an option.

Did this for years. I should have paid attention and just been done with it.

So you're not mature or brave enough to face your life issues ? Congratulations !

I can't believe how many people are saying "divorce him!" Try to work it out first. Always. (That being said, you BOTH have to try, and if one person won't then it's not going to work.)

thats no good, hope things get better for you!

Don't be an irritating slow driver. Pull over somewhere, take a walk or have a coffee, if that's possible. Just to regroup, then you can go home and face whatever is bothering you there.

Why is this everyone's reaction to any relationship problem on here?

Marital counseling works wonders. In the mean time, consider how you think of your husband. Sometimes just filling your mind with positive thoughts about him instead of negative ones can make all the difference- it's the respect he deserves as your husband. This is of course not meant to ignore a big problem, but it can really change your outlook. I try to do this whenever I'm having negative thoughts about my wife because it's the respect that she deserves as the amazing woman I married and even if there's only one person on her side supporting and loving her it will damn well be me!
