"After 10 years of marriage, I am considering leaving my husband."
"Nowadays, I feel we are no longer on the same page."
"Our interests are very different and for a long time I have felt unheard, almost invisible."
"While there are hugs and a kiss/peck, there is no sexual intimacy either."
The marriage has lasted ten years and the partner is considering leaving. There is a sense of being no longer on the same page and divergent interests between partners. The partner reports feeling unheard and almost invisible for a long time. Physical contact is limited to hugs and a kiss or peck, while sexual intimacy is absent. The absence of mutual engagement and emotional attunement has led to questioning the relationship's future. Exploring communication patterns, unmet needs, and options such as couples therapy or separation are relevant next steps for determining whether to remain or leave.
