A netizen shared how he has been married to his wife for 25 years and as the years passed, they started growing to resent each other and now it feels like they are just roommates.
Here is the story:
“Married 25 years, feels like we are nothing more than roommates now.
As the title says. About four years ago, she decided that she would rather I sleep in the spare room because she needs her sleep, and can’t tolerate any noise, movement or touch.
Why should I sleep in the spare room you ask? Well of course, because the master bedroom has the bathroom attached, and that’s where her clothes and makeup are, so it’s ”easier” if I go to the spare room.
As the years go by, so does the intimacy. Resentment builds – this is not what a marriage is supposed to be.
We have several talks last year about lack of intimacy, and general avoidance of each other. She says we really need to start working on “us”. I couldn’t agree more, and say, let’s start by sharing the marital bed. She says, “I don’t see that happening “. End of discussion.
The last 6 months, she’s been extremely judgmental of our children. She’s constantly criticizing what they wear, what they eat, their friends, you name it. It’s a total turnoff for me. I tell her she’s being too judgmental, and so do the kids. Her response is “it’s my job to make sure you look good, etc…”. Your job I say? She doesn’t respond.
I’ve pretty much lost interest in her. Now she says, “you should go get a checkup, something’s off. It’s been a couple months since we’ve fooled around?”
Me get a check up? Are you kidding me? Now I’m even less interested.
What has happened????? Has anyone else gone through this twilight zone?”
