Don't give up OP. Do everything in your power to connect again with your partner, your companion who you chose once upon a time.
Go through the dreaded thought of therapy. Do whatever it takes to not have regrets later. If you give up too soon or stay unhappy you'll wonder in the future what you could have done differently. Do it now, do it today so you don't have to feel the guilt in the future. Beyond that, if you truly feel like you did it all and you're ready to walk, then walk.. And find your happy again.

Maybe see a marriage counselor or a personal counselor of some sort. Preventative medicine is often the best kind.

Loneliness in marriage - not a good sign. It shows that you aren't connecting with your partner anymore other than on superficial topics like vacation , drinks etc. meet a counselor and see if that helps and may b carve out time for both of you instead of spending time on social media or office work.

D4 is right. Put in all efforts to make it work. It requires tonnes of patience and effort because you may falter initially. Hang in there and then make a call

I was thinking the same last night. Both my husband and I have been working crazy hours. I'm still figuring out how to navigate it, but we try to have one time each week where we spend time with each other. A structured date could be good during a time like this. Also, maybe reach out to friends too if you are feeling lonely. I second everyone's advice for therapy, both individual and couple. 💚

Single here, but i thought spending time away from the spouse makes you miss them more?

This is terrifying. What makes the people here so unhappy?

OP do you feel like maybe your SO seems distant and disconnected as a coping mechanism for all the time you're spending away traveling? That is my biggest fear. That one day my SO will just be so internally upset with me that it won't matter when I'm home. And that can get lonely for both.

I'm a woman too. I have no idea why I'm unhappy. I think there is something wrong with me.

I was. Just ended it after a long time of loneliness.

Need advice: 30 Weeks and feel like third trimester has been an emotional rollercoaster. Get upset very easily and any small comment made by my husband makes me cry. Tonight I was by myself for dinner and could not stop crying and feeling anxious, scared and alone. I don’t know if this is depression or just hormonal. Has anyone felt like this ever or I should take it more seriously and talk to my provider about it in my next visit?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
