Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
I have been married for 21 years to a man who is not abusive or has ever stepped out on me he has been a great man, However we are really struggling, We have always struggled and someow survived whatever life has thrown us. I had 3 kids from a previous marriage and he helped raise them we had 4 of our own and he had 1 child from a previous marriage. Our oldest child we had together is 19 our youngest is 6. Right now we are struggling and we have built this wall up around us. not sure how to handle it, anyway I could write a book on what is going on but I am hoping talkign to other couples will help.. thank you.
Maybe you both need to sit down together, talk about your whole relationship and reevaluate your priorities. IMO, a couple needs to keep their relationship top priority, keep the spark alive and both put forth the effort to keep it from getting ho-hum and losing the connection. That can be hard when kids are around and you have other things going on in your life but it can be done if both partners are willing to put forth the effort and make the time for yourselves to reconnect and keep that connection going
