::.I feel restless and wonder if I should leave my marriage...
It is common in midlife to feel the urge to go somewhere and do something else. This state of restlessness can cause you to feel extremely conflicted or anxious as you try to determine what it means. Should you stay or go? Continue the marriage or get a divorce? Your marriage may feel increasingly tense as a result of your inner struggle. Pay attention to these warning signs and take action.
The Solution
- Breathe: Relax. Stay calm. This will help you think clearly.
- Avoid arguments: Refrain from blaming your spouse for how you feel.
- Seek support: Find a sympathetic therapist. "It could be extremely helpful for you to examine your feelings and beliefs with a professional in a safe and confidential setting," says Kinzley. If you and your spouse have been openly discussing the tensions in your marriage, then you might try joint counseling.
