I met my wife in 2016. We hit it off great. We married in 2019. In 2021 we had a child. We haven’t had sex in about a year and we sleep in separate bedrooms (my wife sleeps with our daughter). Yes we’ve discussed this. The weird thing is our marriage is working. I’ve recently acknowledged to myself I haven’t had the pleasure of looking into a woman’s eyes, my heart filled with joy and pure love and excitement in a long time. I tell myself, I have a daughter now, who had brought me more joy than I could have ever imagined, and it’s true. And I tell myself, my daughter deserves to grow up in a home where her mom and dad both raise her in the same home. I experience a huge amount of joy when I’m with my wife and daughter and I know I don’t want to give this up for anything. To divorce in pursuit of finding romance again would mean to give up the time I get to spend with my family, and also, give my daughter heartache, which I will not do. I know by now, relationships start with butterflies in your stomach and excitement every text you get, but all of that eventually fades, and more than likely, the relationship ends. I know how good it feels to have the new relationship feeling, and sometimes I want it badly, but when I consider everything, I know even if I achieve this, it won’t be worth the pain of what it’ll do to my daughter and my wife. I’m not staying out of guilt, I’m staying out of realism and appreciation for what I have. I’ve accepted I’ll never have that feeling again for the rest of my life and I’m okay with that. If somehow I can rekindle that romance with my wife, I’d love to, but I fear we both think we’re beyond that point and are happy with what we have. Is this normal? Do all or any other marriages have this experience? I’ll take any advice given.
