I am 50 and have been married for 24 years. Perhaps it is my age or my life stage but I am feeling quite down. I used to be such an upbeat positive person.
My youngest daughter will go to University in September. My husband works long hours in a stressful job. When he is at home he is often pre-occupied with work. We hardly have any conversations. He quite often doesn't remember things i have told him. This makes me feel uninteresting and invisible. We don't have any mutual friends. Our life is boring. I am wondering what my life will be like when both my children have left home. I feel lonely and wish that my marriage provided me with some sort of comanionship. Perhaps my expectations of marriage are wrong.
