When Love Vanishes

What can you do?

What do you do when, after many years of marriage, you realize that you can no longer love your wife?… There is no one in my life, not even in my mind, the feelings for her simply seem to have disappeared.

They disappeared because I suffered a lot in this relationship: she gave me reasons to doubt her, and the differences between us (as principles of life, of education, as perception of the relationship) created a huge chasm, I never received from her side support, trust, appreciation (although I managed in life on my own two feet without any support).

We have a beautiful family with two wonderful children, we have achieved a lot together, and we have a peaceful life, without worrying about tomorrow, with an active social life, and with many friends who consider us the “ideal family”. In reality, I fought alone to keep this relationship alive, I fought so hard, I suffered until I was exhausted, I stopped fighting and I got to this point.

I have a solid career, I am a very good father (the relationship with my children validates this statement, but also how they are as a character and how they interact with those around them, I make sure that nothing is ever missing, I am a good husband, warm and understanding, I dedicate myself 100% to them and never to me…

I have a special relationship with my children, based on love, nurturing with gentleness, trust, and mutual respect, I cannot imagine that can make a decision that could cause them suffering, both of them being very close to their mother.

I think I started to use the relationship with the children as therapy for the soul — when my wife upsets me, I take shelter in the arms of the children and realize more and more that I do not need anything else to be happy.

I have decided to stay in this relationship which I perceive as toxic and it makes me feel empty inside, I suffer from not being able to love anymore and I have reached the point where I want her to find someone else to put an end to this relationships and to know that she is happy. She feels that I don’t love her anymore and this thought grinds her, but she doesn’t do anything or understand that it is a consequence of her behavior over the years.

Thank you so much for your time, I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some ideas and advice, I can’t talk to anyone about this, no one knows what’s behind my smile.
