Are you wondering whether or you should be staying in a loveless marriage?

If you are it's because it's an extremely tough position to be in and you have every right to be questioning whether or not it's the best thing for you to do.

I've been in your exact shoes before. It wasn't long ago I was in a marriage where it just seemed like there was no hope. We didn't even like each other one bit, much less even think about calling it love.

Why I Was Staying in a Loveless Marriage

Sure, we played it up in front of people pretty well, but behind the scenes we were both staying in a loveless marriage, and miserable doing it. Our reason for doing so had a lot of elements. One was our children, another was shame, and a third was the fact that I guess we just weren't sure whether or not there was still hope.

This lasted quite a while until I realized a huge secret that started (keyword being "started") to change things around for us. It was something that hit me like a ton of bricks.

The Secret That May Have Saved Me from Staying In a Loveless Marriage

I decided to become a much better me. I stopped altogether with trying to fix my wife, and started fixing myself. My thoughts were sort of a let go attitude. I still cared very much about turning my marriage around, and not staying in a loveless marriage.

But I figured if I worked on myself and became a better person, then even if things went totally south, I'd at least be walking out of the marriage a better person than I'd become.

This was one of the keys to my marriage turning around because my becoming a better me, somehow made us a better us. Staying in a loveless marriage eventually became something that I no longer worried about.
