[QUOTE="Max Roscoe, post: 1358433, member: 17845"] Was this a Christian marriage from the start? I hesitate to recommend divorce but OP really sounds like someone who is not ready / mature enough for marriage, or perhaps is just not the marrying type. Did you feel differently at the time you married? It sounds like the problem is mostly yours alone, and theres nothing the wife could do to help. I can't offer any advice on the HOW but you must either end it or wake up and be her husband. We can live in the past and wonder why you married her when you obviously werent ready for a committed Christian union, but what's done is done. I would take a trip to somewhere alone in nature (NOT where you will be tempted to cheat) and spend a few days or weeks apart from her and decide if you want to come back and have her be a part of your life. Perhaps this time alone in prayerful meditation and solitude will give you some clarity. Marriage is not about whether you feel passionate about your partner, or how kind she was to you yesterday, or how quickly she makes your penis erect. It's a covenant between husband and wife as one of God's sacraments on earth, and is a solemn and holy bond that you honor out of unconditional love. My hunch is you didn't realize that when you married her. [/QUOTE]
