    I have been with my husband for 3 years now. Our relationship isn’t perfect. I am seriously thinking about getting a separation because our last few months have been the worst. It just seems like we never do anything together and he always has fun when he is away from home (he is in the military). I don’t ask for much and it seems like he just just doesn’t like hanging out with [i]me[/i]. I really don’t understand, we have gone through marriage counseling and tried doing the whole date night once a week but I feel like we are not getting anywhere. I don’t believe in divorce but I don’t know how much longer I can go feeling like this. It’s like trying to get someone to like you everyday.

    I love my husband. I really do.. I just feel like he doesn’t feel the same for me. We did get married very young and I knew we weren’t exactly ready for marriage but I also had the attitude that everything will fall into place. I don’t know how much more I can do.

    I believe I deserve certain things and an amazing marriage is one of them. When you get married you should always feel giddy and excited inside and instead I feel lost and lonely.

    Uh oh…. It sounds like you’re very young and have an immature view of marriage. 😮 [b]Nobody[/b] who is happily married feels giddy and excited inside all the time. In fact people who do have amazing marriages probably [i]rarely [/i]feel giddy and excited. Instead, they feel peaceful and loving because they know they’ve chosen a compatible partner with whom they share love and mutual respect.

    I think you mistook infatuation which is fleeting for love. Consider what you can do to be a better wife before you separate.

    If you don’t have fun together any more, figure out what you can do that is fun — and do it! If he doesn’t like hanging out with you, then don’t hang out — go out! Make plans with friends to have parties — include people he likes. In other words, take responsibility for your part in the success of this marriage rather than feeling entitled to an amazing marriage and then being disappointed when what you have isn’t what you hoped for. 😉
