Does he know you feel like that?

Why do you feel like that?

If he does not know how can he change?

Have you told him over the years about times that have made you feel uncumfortable?

You loved each other years ago, you most probably you still love him now its just that the years have passed and your needs have somehow been set a side, which you may not have minded, but over the last 7 years you have not accepeted this as much. Have you told him this?

He is obiously a good man, as you said he is a good farther you said it yourself, he is probably a real good husband. Is 20 years of marrage and at least 13 of these have been happy.

Is it just that you don't feel that you are getting what you want out of the relationship, which can happen after a long time of marrage as you naturally take rolls (his is shouting at the kids, which may make him the dominent partner?) The key thing though is HAVE YOU TOLD HIM when your needs are not being met.

I would strongly suggest marrage counciling that way you would be giving it another try and you canb ether keep going or part in a dignified way, which is better for your childrens sake.

Yours, Mr X
