"Talk to your partner, or leave them.
You're not gonna find the solution here.
If I leave it will brake her, as the house she dreams of will need to be sold. don't know I can live with that. "
That I fully understand, at times also I think we're to old to move on |

More than happy with mine
I've had previous relationships that were either unrealistic or toxic
This one was unexpected, open, communicative and
That's not to say we don't fall out, cos we do, but it's more bicker / calm down / find the common ground / move on scenarios
If you and/or your wife are unhappy, open the door to full and frank discussion & walk away from any conflict that arises
Life is too short for protracted unhappiness
I say that not to encourage a split, but more of a recognition that carrying on the way you are isn't healthy for either of you |

If it's losing the house that will break her and not losing the relationship then your priorities are all wrong. When my ex wife and I split she stayed in the house so there's no need for it to be sold. |

Im in a similar kind of situation but we have a daughter who has some medical issues( not too serious) and that has basically put everything else on the back burner, we can’t go away for the weekend or even a night away is hard to arrange. I feel it has come to the point where we won’t be like we were |

She could not afford the bills or do the maintenance to the gardens on her own.
There again nor could I the maintenance that is. |

So I guess she bought your half. And how did you split every thing else. |

"Waiting patiently for someone to come with a “opause” card. I have a feeling it won’t be long. "

@Dee, I've removed the "men" from the your "menopause" statement, my darling.
The "men" have it hard enough. We are not culpable for mother nature's peculiarities. 🩶😘 |

No she lived there until she moved on and got together with a new partner then we sold the house. |

Not 50 yet but unhappy have been for years , circumstances keep holding us together us now have a kid via IVF .
Sex has always been horrendous but lived in hope but no I no longer find her remotely sexually attractive nor want to touch her and she must feel the same. I did myself a sexual experiment about 12 yrs ago which confirmed she has got a sexual bone in her body or just isn’t arsed about me, hence why I’m in here before I go insane |

She's 72 and an alcoholic. We've been together for 55 years and I can't contemplate leaving but her lies and deceit about her drinking, and how it changes her behaviour are destroying my mental health |

A similar percentage to the under fifties I reckon.
From what I see and read I'm beginning to wonder if the number of unhappy relationships far outweigh the happy ones. I think a lot of people actually expect to be unhappy. |

Either that or they have unrealistic expectations about long term relationships |

I offered my house to the ex but she didn't want it, just half of what it was worth at the time, £165,000 later she was happy and I remortgaged, |

My husband had the same thoughts. He called it. Yes it devastated me. My world was thrown upside down. It took me a while to come to terms with it and move on. But guess what? I did. And I'd much rather he did what he did, than be living a sham of a marriage. I'm free. |
