i have been in marriage for the last 15 years and all has been well. my hubby now has decided to join the mugithi group every weekend and he argues that its healthy to go out and have a wine and some gomas. to me feels like a betrayal although i have no clue what he is after . he says he likes music and dancing on the floor and wine. life is shot. am compassionate and busy i cannot afford such a life although money is not an issue. should i stop her or let it go .
lets us be social and discuss the implication of this in the long term.
Could be mid life crisis....happens and will go after a few years, its a phase
Meanwhile you confuse me with the highlighted....
Seems change in long term relationships is inevitable. Maybe it comes around as couples reach their 40s. So one wants more, or something different, or to rediscover themselves afresh. And another feels betrayed, inadequate, mistrustful due to prior ways or laid down expectations.
So yes, life is complicated. As @FancyFace advises, this too shall pass. What would you do if you were meeting the person afresh, with no baggage, second time round? It takes love; do that.
