I love my husband, but i am not in-love with him.

I do love him, but I am not AT ALL in love with him. I stay because we do have a great friendship and we have a daughter. I do care about him, but I long for Romance and I will never ever feel that for him. Sad but true. Anyone else feel this way? Am I doing the right thing? I will never fall in love with him, because I never was to begin with..it's a long story. I miss love. I miss being in love more than you know.

    No, you should have married him because you intended to love him forever. However, you made your bed, lie in it. Don't think that divorce is an easy way out either, it's not, even for a woman.

    Can't believe how crude people can be on the internet. I'm not going to reply to any negative comments replied at me, but I will reply with this.
    People, more often than not, get married for all the wrong reasons. None of you know the story behind it, so can't say nasty things.
    I don't know how normal it is to love but not be in love with the one you're married to, but my wife was in the same situtation in her previous marriage. It's totally understandable, even though it's not at all a good thing. She needed to escape, and she had an aperatunity, which she would take back if she could.

    I do wish you the best of luck with things, all I can say it have a talk with your husband, maybe he'll understand, if he truly loves you. If it ever comes to divorce, just know you can still find someone to be in love with, without question, and make sure your daughter knows it isn't her fault, either.

    Sorry to sound cynical, but I would say welcome to most peoples' marriages.

    I'm not normally mean in my replies here either, but you were an idiot from the start, and you've been idiotic all along. It's normal to make bad choices sometimes, but it's also normal to find ways out of them; you have pretty clearly made the wrong choices for a while now, so I doubt you have a way out of them at this point.

    Learn how to build a life despite your many mistakes. Otherwise, you could also get yourself spayed so you don't make the same stupid mistake again, leave your child in the care of someone responsible enough to love and raise it well, and flee your hollow marriage so you give your husband and baby a chance to find happiness and love with a real human being instead of a loathsome and shallow baby factory like you.

    Don't forget about the spaying part, by the way. The world doesn't need more unwanted kids from people who can't remember how birth control works.

    What if you and your husband stayed married and in the same household for the child. And then otherwise, negotiate on seeing other people?

    Get out of the marriage now. No matter what kind of F-ed up logic has you convinced that staying is what's best for anyone involved needs to be thrown out the window. Staying is nothing but selfish! How will it be for your child to grow up with parents in a loveless marriage? Probably misersble. Children aren't stupid and she will pick up on it. What about him? He thinks everything is cool. Let him go so maybe he can find happiness with someone who, I don't know, actually fucking loves him! If you are unhappy you will likely eventually whore it up and have an affar, if you haven't already. All the while he will continue to think he is with a faithful and loving woman.

    So, put on your big girl panties and muster up the courage to do what is right! Everyone will eventually be happier, even you.

    I was in the same boat as you are before, and i ended up divorced. The only difference is i dont have a kid and i loved him but shit happens. I know u have to think of your daughter but you should also think about yourself. However you also need to think about if this is what you want. If you have a good husband it is not easy to go out there and find a good man. Theres a lot of jerks out there. If you decided to leave make sure its civil so ur daughter does not get affected. Im sure she will understand when shes older, once she sees that u and him are happy with other people and still maintains a good relationship.
    Best of luck.
