Question for those of you with long marriages

    • Gold Top Dog
    First one - 20 years.  Ex had a midlife crisis.  I had a financial setback LOL. 
    Now, I've been with BF for thirteen years and we love each other - for who we are, not who we wish the other person would be!  Unfortunately, he isn't well, so the other SOB will probably outlive him, but ten minutes with this guy is worth way more than a lifetime with someone who thinks horses suck because you spend money on them instead of making money on them.

    The trick to making money with horses Anne is you need to own more of them.  I suggest you buy mine.  [;)]

    Amy so sorry to take so long to get back here, been a little poopy.
    I was in the same situation you are in now with my 1st hubby, but I got pregnant at 16 and he was abusive. So when my son was 8 months old I left.
    First let me tell you after being married for 26 years and I have a wonderful marriage, there are ebbs and tides, where you love them more and more or less. But that stops at about the 10yr mark.
    I also want you to know that your not missing anything by not ever being w/ anyone else, (turn them upside down they all look alike) lol, just kidding guys, I couldn't resist. No seriously we all have our own stupid stuff. What I really think is going on w/ you is that you aren't IN love w/him anymore.
    Being of the "Old Fart" gang, I know this one thing to be true, when you are in love w/ your partner (and I will use another old  fart as an example) Paul Neumann could walk around in front of you naked and you wouldn't notice. That's why when people break up because one spouse has cheated and the non cheating spouse says to the other woman/man you broke up my marriage, that is ridiculous you can't break up a good marriage. So as much as I would like to tell you to stick it out, I am having a hard time doing that because I believe in my heart of hearts that you are no longer in love w/ him. And I think it was Billy who said something about cheating, and that it was a terrible idea, please, please please, listen to the boy, you will be sorry for the rest of your life.
    I think you are both too young to be in a loveless marriage, and because there are no children involved I think you really need to make a move.

    Its not loveless.  By no means, thats the only thing sometimes left in my mind is the fact  that I love him.  I dont know about anything right now.  Lots of thinking and working through my thoughts.  Ill keep yall updated on any new developments tho lol....  
     
    Its so great to read everyones thoughts and experiences on the subject in general.

    Amy, I'm sorry if I assumed to much. I was putting myself in your place and what I went through. If you are in love with the boy then please do everything you can to save this marriage.

    I am virtually certain my wife and SD would rather sell me than sell the horses.  [:D]

    A marriage is like a roller coaster with many ups and downs. After 27 years, our relationship is like a fine wine and only gets better as the years grow. It hasn't all been good, but we've toughed it out and have a lot of good memories for it.

    Marriages are like snowflakes and no two are alike. It took me a long time to learn that, and recently I've discovered just how special I have it and how wonderful it is to be sharing my life with someone for such a long time.
