You shouldn’t have to try to fall back in love. If it’s meant to be, you will fall in love again.
You know that the reason you married him i because you could see yourself spending he rest of your life with him. 9 years is a long time to be with some one. Resentment will eventualy destroy your relationship you dont need to fall back in love, you just need to find waht makes you love him.
hope i helped
You and your husband (assuming he feels the same way) should try the love dare(the book). I haven’t personally tried it yet but heard that it works wonders for marriages that are falling apart
You need to refresh your marriage. Spend more time together. Try doing the things you use to do together. Do romantic things for each other. You might also want to go to family counseling. This can help with finding out what is missing in your marriage.
try new things in the bedroom, go to Lovers and get some new toys, when you see each other for the first time after getting off work, start the conversation off positive, go on a mini vacation somewhere, tell him you want the relationship to work and he needs to help too
be on him like white on rice tell him how you feel and he might try to make u fall back in love with him his way
Are you my wife? seriously!
I went through the same thing with my wife. We were to the point that we hated each other. What I did is look for something of interest for the both of us. I signed us up to take salsa (dancing) lessons. I enrolled us for 5 weeks and after we got the basics and a little advanced, we went out dancing at clubs, dinner cruises, etc. and had a great time. Now we don’t go dancing anymore but we have become happy with each other again. Try doing the same with him, look for something that you know he will enjoy and see if you can enjoy it together.
Good luck and God bless.
You have to make the effort, Sweet Heart. I think anyone who dont want to just give up (in a time where we all take the easy road out) is commendable. You dont want to end yoru marriage. You want to get all that back and i think that’s great.
What i recommend (and i’m sure this is no secret to your husband and if he’s still in love with you) is that YOU go to counseling. Alone. To figure out some things about yourself and to deal with, rationally, why your’ve fallen out of love or are in the process of it. I know it seems mute but there are underlining reasons why you can let go. And if you could find out why that is, then you can begin to let go.. Then the two of you go to marriage couseling. this way, done in that order, you can start to heal before you go. Because trust me, there is nothing like going to marriage counseling when your still angry.. No one will get anywhere..You’ll end up arging the same things there that you do at home.. no closer to finding an way to deal with it.. And i say YOU because it’s you who’s falling out of love. Divise a plan, the execute it.. Make a mental note each and everyday that you want this to work and put some effort into it.. you CAN fall back in love with your husband. It’s just a matter of how bad do you want it.. and if you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way..
One of the latest technics being bantered around is "pretend it is so until it is". Go to counseling together or alone to sort out your feelings.
You can fall back in love if he show that he’s willing to change and sacrifice everything that he have to make the marriage work.
Estrangement.
It takes effort and work to take an estranged marriage and bring it back to the field of love. You both have to be committed to each other and basically start dating again (and not stop this time!)
This means you are not taking care of each others emotional needs. Since you are not actively making each other happy the love fades over time when you live together due to the all the annoying things people do and do to each other.
In a happy marriage both partners have to actively love each other, do things to make each other happy, and make real sacrifices for each other in order to maintain their spouses infatuation. This love should not be a tit-for-tat (conditional) negotiation, but sometimes that helps to get things going again.
It starts with a conversation where you tell each other you do not want to go on living like this, you want to be happy, and want to be happy together.
Self-help books in the source or can also get profressional marriage counseling. Find one that works on emotion, not communication.
Notice the things you feel in love with him for in the first place. Realize he’s human with many faults as well as good qualities. Focus on the good. My husband messed up a few times too and for a while all I could do was focus on the negative but I realized that he’s in need of love and affection despite what he’s done and I’m not perfect either. After I "let go" and was able to be more genuinely affectionate and loving toward him, I saw a shift in his becoming more conscientious of me as well. I also had to back off some and stop being so controlling and always reminding him of his mistakes. I know it’s hard but you have to think that in an entire marriage both of you will make some major errors and have certain setbacks. It’s important to step back and talk about what caused us to do those things, and what needs were not being met that we tried to meet in unhealthy ways. Then it’s important to try to meet those needs in a healthier way or for each other so that the other person doesn’t have to lie, hide, pretend, or cheat. I think the best thing for you to do is start with deciding you want to be in love with your marriage and your relationship, as well as your husband. Nurture the relationship and that means your role in it as well. Be there for him, pay attention, give him lots of reassurance and intimacy and he will naturally gravitate back toward you. If you are just mad sitting around resentful while waiting for him to make the overtures of closeness you may wait forever, even if he’s the one that messed up first! Sometimes we have to stretch beyond what we thought we could (or would) for someone to bring the closeness back. If you really want to make your relationship work you might need to create the atmosphere around you where both of you will fall in love with each other again. Good luck, it’s tough!
You need to figure out what your real issues are and try to fix them. Get him involved. Don’t tell him you don’t love him yet, though, or he won’t be much help. It might just make him defensive and angry. Just tell him that you’re unhappy with whatever it is that is bothering you and it needs to be resolved.
You need to figure out whether or not your resentment toward him is justified. He is a person just like you and will make mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes can adversely affect your life, but that doesn’t mean it was his intention. If you’re going to be angry with him, it should be for the right reasons.
Make sure you aren’t blaming him for problems that you are both responsible for. You’re a team. It isn’t fair to push all responsibility for your happiness off on him.
It takes time to forgive someone after they cause you or your life harm, even if it was a mistake. If you love your husband and he has apologized, you just have to calm yourself when you feel angry about it and remind yourself that it is done with. If all has been said and done about it, you can’t keep bringing it up.
Whenever you have forgiven him, you may (or may not) fall back in love. I guess it depends on how strong your relationship was to begin with.
Others are correct in that you should try to spend some good, quality time with him and have fun. You can never forget why you fell in love with him in the first place. He is still that man.
