I will be celebrating my 1st wedding anniversary this weekend, and I am wondering if I made a mistake in getting married. Unfortunately, I feel very disappointed in what my marriage has evolved over this past year. Every day seems to be a struggle to communicate without some kind of arguement. I feel like we are worlds apart....we do not spend a lot of time doing things that we both enjoy together. We are very different..he is somewhat of a home body,and I am very active and enjoy meeting and talking to others. Very often he goes to bed at 9pm and I feel like I am spending most of my time either arguing with him or alone.I knew he was this way before we met, but I chose to look the other way and not deal with our differences. Lately I feel like I do not want to even put forth much effort, because I feel rejected or like I would rather be alone than argue. Although I am hurting deep inside it is difficult to say how I feel without us arguing. I do not want to go through life just going through the motions and hoping for a fulfilling marriage. This is my second marriage, his first and I have a 5 yr old daughter from the previous marriage. She adores my husband so I hate to see so much distress in our family. We have tried marriage consuling before, but neither of us keep our commitments. Recently it has become much easier to distance myself from him..but I am worried that everything will just slip away and unravel. I want to remain optimistic about our relationship but sometimes I feel that love should not be so hard. Any advice to make my home a happy home?
