I hear from wives in this situation quite a bit. Last night, I received an email from a woman whose husband had sat her down and told her that he “just was not happy in the marriage anymore.” He didn’t really give her any specific reasons for this. Rather, he stuck with the broad assertions like he just felt that things were stale, a bit repetitive, and that his life wasn’t how he envisioned it or wanted it.
Needless to say, the wife was devastated by this. No one wants to know that their husband is unhappy and feeling that he’s not experiencing or enjoying all that life has to offer. But, it was even worse for her to think that she had something to do with him not reaching his happiness potential. She wanted to take action and make immediate and lasting change, but she didn’t not where to begin and her husband was completely distant and non receptive to anything she had to say.
