I am contemplating leaving my marriage of almost 12 years, as well, we just have nothing in common anymore. Sex life is virtually non existent, we have no interests, every day seems like a massive mission, we pretty much avoid each other, two people living under the same roof going in different directions (even before PTSD raised its fangs and bit into it), we dont communicate, and truth be told, I never married her because I loved her, I married her so that I wouldnt lose my son, I did what I believed was honourable at the time. I married her telling myself that I will leave when my kids are old enough. So I know the marriage wasnt built on love, and I know thats not being fair to her either.
Unfortunately, as a result of my intepretation of things, I have also been unfaithful which chucks an extra layer of confusion into the mix.
I was doing a bit of reading (Im an analytical kind of person and I need information to make sense of things around me), what is the difference between loving someone and actually being in love? I know what the internet says, I am curious what those, on both sides of the field, opinions are. So, loving someone or being in love with them. Same thing or different?
