Not attracted

Asked by olp over 3 years ago, 2 answers.

what do I do if IM not attracted to my spouse anymore? I always feel like everyone elses wives and girlfriends are better looking than mine. Sometimes I feel afraid to be in public with her. she is also very messy and I cant do anything about it. no matter how hard I try to clean or do yardwork she dosent help so consequently nothing ever gets done. We are always depressed and always at work and we dont want to do anything when we get home. I actually work 6 days a week and get off at 7pm.
She has sat and sun off and gets off @ 5 on week days, so she should have more time to do things but she dosent...she gripes and blames it all on me! Im just tired of it, we have been married for 6 years and nothing has changed. IM 26 years old and I should enjoy being young and not be tied down by a house or by a wife. What would one do to handle this situation??

Dear Not Attracted,

Hmmm, it seems to me that you have more than one serious problem going on in your relationship. Those problems being, that you're overworked, you and your wife disagree about housekeeping styles, you don't have enough personal or couple time, you're tired of marriage, you're not attracted to your wife, she doesn't feel confident with her own appearance, and it sounds like you feel you're too young to be tied down and you want to play the field. What you need to do is evaluate how valuable this relationship is to you, are you willing to ask the hard questions, have some difficult conversations, and do some tough work here. Are you committed to this relationship? Are you committed to making this work? Is your wife? First thing you need to do is find a good couples therapist, look around until you find someone you're really happy with, then take your wife. If she refuses to go then sit down with her and explain as best as you can your feelings and views about the marriage, in a mature, calm, non-blaming kind of way. Also, explain after you've listed your issues with the marriage how important it is to go to therapy and work these things out, and if either one of you is unwilling to go to counseling that means that you aren't really truly committed to working out your problems, and changing things in the relationship. It all depends on how committed you are to this relationship, how openminded you both are, and you're personal levels of communication and maturity.

Wow you have some issues but rember we all do and we have to handle the situation. Well for one thing you are all defentily over worked. Well you guys need some open commmunication ... Start with your days off and right on a peice of paper your goals for that day.
Help one another out 50/50. Start seeing each other in a different light cause bueaty is only skin deep.
Mabey hire a house maid to help out with the cleaning and you both work the yard .
See how that works .. Sit down and have one family day a week just you and her with a nice dinner and work out what you guys are going to do that day. Cross out when things are done you can get more done if you do quick little things first that need to be done .
Then work on the harder parts you will get it together in no time but it is going to take team work. Good luck tell me if my adivce works out. If you need more just post and I will try and post some more.
