My husband and I are separated and getting a divorce after 6months of marriage. We have lived together for close to three and marriage seemed like the next logical step in our relationship. We love eachother very much and are truly best friends. But we have both begun seeing other people and drifting far from eachother. We are not in love anymore and are not attracted to oneanother. We have decided to get divorced while we still have a friendship to hold on to and there are no hard feelings. But we are scared that this is wrong. Is is possible to stay married to somone you are not in love with and are not attracted to? Is the friendship enough? We truly are looking for satisfaction outside the marriage yet there are times when we enjoy eachother just like we did in the beginning. I am only 22 and he is 26. He is my first 'real' relationship and I feel like i've learned from this and must live life more before I get into another serious relationship.
I am so confused. It felt so good when we separated but now the fear of losing him all together is crippling.
