Default Re: Is he bored or really not in love?

He may just be at a point in his life where he is re-evaluating himself and having thoughts that he may be missing out on something. In my opinion, I don't think this necessarily means all doom and gloom, but it is a major sign that changes are needed within the marriage if he is to feel better about it. Do you go out on dates at all? When you get into the daily routine of work/bills/kids it's important to balance that with having fun with one another and be able to talk about each other as individuals and as a couple. Are you close? If there have been feelings building up with him over time whether it's feeling unloved, unappreciated, lack of sex or whatever he may have become disconnected and talking through what he's been thinking the past few years may shed some light. I think it's really important at this time not to be defensive or argue with what he's saying, but to listen and acknowledge his feelings, even if you don't agree with him. This will most likely not be a quick fix and require a lot of patience on your part. I wish you both the best.
