The relationship with my wife has gone down. It has become one of just friendship, sex is non-existent and there is little physical contact between us. She even seems uncomfortable kissing. She no longer enjoys it.

I am at a stage in my life and career where things are beginning to open up for me. I want to travel, be independent and develop new interests and meet new people.

I want to quit this relationship with my wife and dream of a way out. I would not want to hurt my wife but I don't feel that she is the person I want to spend the rest of my days with. I don’t know what to do.

The problem is not with your wife but with yourself, you don't want to be with her anymore, why hurting her like this.Am sure that she feels that you are getting away from her and that's why she avoids contact with you.
Be honest with her and you'll be free to move on instead of making you both unhappy.

Be frank, be honest with her. Tell her what you have on your mind and in which field you are thinking.

Why are trying to destroy your marriage?I do not think that it is right for you to abandon your wife like that.
Why don't you try to restore your marriage?Go and seek help from a marriage counsellor.May be you are focussing too much on your life than on your couple.

I have to say that I agree with Miamia try to work out your relationship - try councelling first...

You just said that you want to quit the relationship with your wife, so you know what you wawnt to do. The thing is that you don't know how to do it? You know you will hurt her and you don't want to feel responsible for that.

If you stay with her,it will be more painful for her and you,as you don't love her..so if you want to leave her,do so..if she is not the wife that you dreamed of,so you also you may not be the husband she dreamed of.Go and talk to her I am sure that she will understand...

If you want to go, just go and don't look back. You must do what you feel is the best thing for you. Each of us deserve to be happy!!! But make sure that you will talk to your wife first as you must respect her and be honest with her due to the fact that you took an engagement when you got married

Well, i think that somewhere, somehow, in your mind, you know what you want to do and also what you have to do. I am quite a straight forward person - so i'll tell you the bitter truth. Whats the use of being a relationship which means nothing? I understand that you dont want to hurt your wife. If you still want to save your marriage, try discussing the matter. If still you see that there is no way out, then get divorced and live your life as you want!
