Like most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it. |

Ummm, married life is pretty cool, actually. I love being married. Maybe marriage isn't your problem. Maybe your problem is who you're married to? Perhaps marriage counseling will help? Hope things look up for you. Good luck! |

Apparently he isn't "the one" then, I know I am married to my BFF and we are utterly happy. Good luck to you though! |

Maybe your expectations are unrealistic. Don't give up so fast. Try changing yourself because you cannot change anyone else. If you're happier in your relationship with yourself, you'll find more satisfaction (or at least less disappointment) in your relations with others -- including and especially your husband. |

I don't think every marriage is like that! You need to remember why you feel in love! Good luck! |

Great idea - bring your kids up in the unhappy marriage first!!!??? |

do your kids a favor and go through the divorce now. I can't imagine anything worse then them having to grow up with an unhappy mom in an unhappy marriage. Most kids in this situation grow up thinking there is something wrong with them AND if it hadn't been for them being born, mom would've been happy. It's not your husband's responsibility to make your life happy or exciting...it's yours. Stop blaming him for your bored-ness...it's your responsibility, not his. |

Yes I heard of that before by some people.. but I also heard from other people that it's nice to have someone there for you and your kids.. not a lot of guys are there for their families.. you need to appreciate him for being there for you as well as he should appreciate you for being there for him.. but if you don't love him anymore, you should tell him and be on a break... maybe that will make you realize whether you want to stay with him or not... don't stay with him because of your kids, because no matter what they're going to have him in their lives.. I think that you just go to a point where you just don't appreciate him and all the things he's done for you... being on a break I think will make you realize how much you really do love him....
Good Luck!!! |

Nobody told me but hey I have been married two times. I am still married to my second husband. Everyones marriage has ups and downs. You need to know how to fix those downs and keep up the ups. Why wait until your kids are grown and out of the house. It is going to devestate them anyhow. If you are unhappy and not willing to work on your marriage then I suggest you start with paper signing right now. |

You have other issues. Marriage is hardly your issue. Marriage is wonderful for the people who actually care about it. You sound like a person who had no business getting married in the first place. |

I'm engaged right now, but NO, no one has ever said marriage is lame or boring that I have been around. You have to make an effort to have fun, geez! You sound selfish and boring yourself, maybe YOU are the one making your marriage lame and boring. Your poor kids, you can't wait for them to grow up?!?! I am so thankful right now for my parents and the person I am, good luck, but you need some help. |

Wow, does your hubby know that? And most parents want their kids to grow up slowly so they can treasure the times they have with them. I think you are a negative person and I wouldn't want to be married to you if I were your husband. |

The longer you wait the more disapointed you will be.
I'm not married and have never been. But sometimes you have to be selfish. You can still raise your children without being miserable. Your un happiness will show |

Write down what you want of the marriage, get with your family, not just with your husband and attack what you as a family can do together to achieve this.
Why wait if you feel bored or whatever, and move on if not, use the opportunity above to improve it. Don't wait for someone to do it for you. |

Don't know how long you've been married, but maybe it's the routine of your life that's got you down? Try shaking things up a bit without turning your world upside down.
Get a sitter and take your husband out for the evening. Take him for the weekend. Don't wait for him to do something - YOU take charge.
Have you told your husband how you feel (if you do, hopefully you're nicer about it than this post, btw)? Maybe he's feeling things are a bit lackluster, too.
If your troubles are in the bedroom, try fulfilling one of his fantasies. Show interest in some of his likes or hobbies, and ask him to return the favor. Make time for just the two of you, no matter what.
As for staying married just for your kids, that's ridiculous. What are you teaching them by being miserable?
I've been married 11 years and while there have been ups and downs, you get out of it what you put into it. Be positive, find something good in your husband, your house, your kids. Look at someone less fortunate than you and count your blessings.
If you can honestly say you've tried everything you know, and you're finally at the end of your tether, then walk away. |

Why wait for your children to grow up? If you do not have any intentions of doing something about this marriage, then quit putting up with your misery and end it now.
Say "goodbye" and "have a nice life" to your spouse. |

All of my single, non-married friends have said that marriage is so lame.
Then they get married and can’t remember what they did before they got married. |

Your observations are rignt on. Stay single and date. A little dating on the side for kicks is the way to go. |
