After being married for years, are you ready for a change? Or are you content?

I've been married for 26 years; married the guy I started dating when I was 15. We lived together for 12 years before marriage, so we've been together for 38 years. No children. I am bored beyond comprehension. I plan to move to a new country. alone, in 2 years. I'll only be 55 and ready for a new life.
And you?

We were separated for 8 months in '93 and again for 8 months just this year. Things never change. They change for a while when you live separtely, but in no time at all things return to the same life you once left. I've been stuck in this revolving door. Time to get out.

Wow it took you awhile to get bored. My first marriage ended in just a handful of years for the same problems. We got bored then created separate lives from each other. I wish you luck on your new journey. I hope you find what you need and don't find that you made a mistake by leaving.

Content and even thou my husband is not with me now I have great memories of him and not sure if I can find another like him or want too..Sorry to hear your lose in your marriage let me say it takes to and work hard work to make a great marriage and if it is not like it was then one has to step up and get it back that way..maybe instead of moving on you need to move more toward his love and find the love again that was there and make it work again..if it was there it still is you just have to work at it again...

sometimes you need time apart, too much time together can drive the marriage apart. I've been with mine for 5 years and I'm not happy with her anymore we don't agree on anything. we don't like the same food's or movies. thats really a drag. I need a good friend that likes what I like, and I like what she likes. if you have copatability then try spending some time apart before you get a divorce.

Im sorry to hear that. I've only been married almost 4 years now. I love my husband very much. I love him more and more. Im hoping he will feel the same way too. It a long time to throw away. Have you guys talked about it or you are already moving with your new plan? Get away trip might help you guys find something new about each other...
I just hate to hear you been together for 38 years and done with the relationship.
