Marriage AdviceMarriage vows are powerful words that at times are hard to maintain. Many fear that marriage isn't the same commitment that it once was. Leave your fears at home and take a dose of marriage advice to help you maintain a committed relationship. Bring any questions or concerns regarding your death do you part.
I have been married for almost 5yrs to my husband, a little over a month ago, he tells me he doesn't love me anymore and his feelings for me have changed. We have 2 kids together and I am not ready to give up on this marriage. He blindsided me with this information, I had no clue he felt this way. Is it possible for him to find those feelings and love me again?
I think some more information is in order, and it is relevant. What are your ages, and the ages of your children? has some major event taken place recently, like a job loss, or a passing of a close family member? There are things that have to be expanded on before an accurate answer can be given.
I hope so, and I think it is possible - he married you and fathered your children for a reason - the love was there. But I think you should talk to a counselor soon, maybe first talk to one on your own and get their advice on how to handle your situation. I know you don't want to lose your husband and it sounds like something else has to be going on for him to have just blindsided you out of nowhere - I hope it's something that is fixable.
Good luck- hang in there
Ask him why he doesn't love you anymore. If he is wanting to get your marriage back on track suggest that you see a marriage counselor. I think it is very possible to find the feelings that he says that he has lost, but you have to want to work at it.
Yes. Seek counseling together. Its not that he doesn't love you anymore. It is probably just the spark has died down a bit. Ask HIM what you can do together to make this work & try with all your heart.
Nope, In my experience, once a man says those words, I don't love you any more, he means them and men generally don't like to look back or drag thing out.
It takes 2 to make a marriage. No matter how much you want, if he is not into it, it will become unbearable. Prepare yourself emotionally for whats to come, there may already be another in his life. I would start taking steps to ensure support from him for your children, good luck.
Sadly it only takes one person to end a relationship, it takes both of you to work on it and hopefully fix it. If he's completely unwilling to go to counseling and try to save the marriage then I suggest you go on your own. The only person you can control is you.
Its possible for him to find those feelings and love you again, but you have to turn to God now. He alone can reach his heart and turn him around.
You also HIV to TKO a sincere look at Ur relations with him, is there somethings Ur doing to make him behave this way?
This is reminiscent of a question by a guy yesterday on this site where he also had two small children and asked when and how to tell his wife he had an affair. Most all the answers said get out your checkbook, you will be broke, your wife will get 50 percent and you wont see your children etc. See if you can look it up on 'search for questions' above in the green area and see if you can show it to your husband . It was amazing how everyone knew what a mess divorce is and voiced it so well. Your husband may not have thought that through yet. I do believe it is not too late for you two. I feel strongly and said in my answer to his question yesterday that children do that to marriages since there is hardly time for romance but if you stick it out you will be glad you did. Good luck and I hope you can make it work with him
Let him know that you're willing to compromise with whatever is not making him happy. You should try to get marriage counseling to work out your differences and re-ignite those former feelings. I hope everything works out.
It IS possible for him to recover those lost feelings for you. But you'll have to be patient with him. Try sitting down with him and really talking it through. Explain to him that you don't want to give up on the marriage, at least for the sake of your children. Remind him that while the feelings may come and go and vary sometimes, the responsibility to hold the family together for the kids' sake is still there. I really hope that he understands the importance of putting aside what he feels like doing. If he does agree to stick with you for the sake of the family, you're going to have to understand that he may not be as affectionate as before any time real soon. But remember, time can change things. In the mean time, be his friend. It may take time for the emotion and affection to "grow back" but try not to lose hope. Work hard to retain his respect. Remember to be likable, even if love isn't an immediate option. Perhaps if he is able to appreciate you, respect you, and like you, he will be able to love you again. Whatever you do, I hope you don't feel that he doesn't love you anymore because you're UN-lovable. That is definitely NOT the case. Don't let anything convince you that you're anything less that wonderful, precious and valuable! Good luck with winning back his heart I hope and pray that everything works out
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles.Its even harder when you have kids.My answer is yes its possible to change a mans feelings about things.There may be several reasons why he would say those things out of the blue.I do know that with kids,a marriage changes drastically.I have fallen in love with my ex several times and we have been together long periods of time together each time.Dont ask me why,we just do.We have to grown sons together and we have a problem we will call and talk to each other.Sometimes its real hard to be married to your best friend but in the end it all works out.Before either of you do something drastic,try counseling.If he wont go,then you go alone.It will give you some real insight to relationships as a whole.I hope and pray it all works out for you but dint forget about the kids.If it gets too out of hand,they should have top priority in your life anyway.
Best of luck!
