I just got back from our marriage counseling appt and my husband finally told me what I already knew that he isn't in love with me anymore. I feel numb and relief at the same time. I knew for a long time he felt this way, but it's hard to hear it out loud. He doesn't want a divorce and says he is content with our marriage the way it is for now. I feel devastated but now I know for sure that he won't ever tell me he loves me or show any affection towards me at all. He says he loves me because I'm the mother of his son and all those lame reasons people give to somehow make the person feel better. I guess it's my decision on whether this is enough. He says i'm not the same person anymore and things changed especially when I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. I don't work anymore or do anything like I used to be able to and combined with taking meds it has changed me and him too.

The question is do people stay together even though the love has gone out of their marriage and there's no intimacy? He says he will be faithful and not cheat on me. That 's alot to give up, a life of loving someone who really loves you back. Due to my situation I probably will stay with him that is until I cannot take it anymore. I'm so sad and feel so empty inside of me. No one to hug me or kiss and hold me except our son. I guess it can be done I just need to get strong and put up a wall of stone.
