Having been in love for ten years, not having had a wedding after getting married, with different ideas, what should we do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

At 24, my first love, ten years of dating, got married but didn't have a wedding ceremony. He has grand ambitions, but I just want a comfortable life. I love him, but I'm tired. We are classmates, of the same age. He works hard, leaving early and returning late. He sleeps as soon as he gets home and rarely takes days off. Living together, we barely have time to communicate. Being a woman behind a man's startup is too much to bear. I do many things myself and bear loneliness. I'm not not loving him, but this kind of life is very wearying. I want a stable life for both of us. He says our values are different, but after all these years, it's a bit regrettable to separate because of different values. However, I also think that having different views is a fundamental issue. I don't know what to do, please help me.

Hello, stranger!

After ten years of being in love, they got married without a wedding ceremony! Does this mean that they got married without a wedding ceremony? There must be some regrets!

Ten years of love and understanding! You've come so far together. He's focused on his career, and you're focused on him and your own feelings!

You feel a bit aggrieved. You're not sure when it started, but you feel like you're living your life alone. When you try to tell him how you feel, he says that you and he have different views on things. You feel that you're making a big deal out of nothing, and you're not sure if you should just accept it. But you know that you can work through this together!

Are their really different views, or is he just using the excuse of different views to avoid dealing with you?

This means he doesn't have to rack his brains trying to respond to you, and you won't keep obsessing over the doubts buried in your heart, forcing yourself to constantly wonder if you really don't deserve him, ignoring the fact that you've done a great job and you're perfect for him.

A good partner will take his wife's feelings into consideration while reaching a certain level of success, and will not make his wife feel insecure in the marriage. Because he wants to grow old with you, he is able to always keep you in his heart. Apart from his career, you are the harbor to which he returns.

So, think about it from a different perspective. Perhaps the relationship in this marriage began to tilt when self-deprecation began. You can do this! You need to find yourself, live yourself, and realize yourself.

Hello, landlord, I've read your description and I understand your mixed feelings at this time. I hope that what I'm sharing can help you.

From what you wrote, it seems like you don't have much to talk about, and you tend to do your own thing.

The key to a happy marriage is warmth, and the foundation of warmth is emotional flow and connection.

From what you've said, it seems there's no basic, everyday greeting between you, let alone a deeper level of exchanging views, trying to recognize linked emotions, and chatting about common topics that help you understand each other's emotional needs.

It seems like you're both playing a role like adults play games, turning a relationship that's based on emotions into something more like a game with tasks to complete.

In such an environment, there's a kind of hidden cold violence that you can also feel. It's even more painful, and the heart is cold and without the slightest warmth. There's no point of focus for complaining.

So, in this kind of relationship, the two people living together can't really warm each other up, and they'll also suffer more disappointment and loneliness than they would if they lived alone.

In a marriage, not showing warmth and ignoring each other's feelings is irresponsible, both in terms of the marriage and of emotions.

In a marriage, it's important to listen to your partner, support them through their ups and downs, and be aware of their emotions. If you don't do this, the relationship can become a burden for both of you.

As the article said, your partner is starting a business. It seems like he only has to take responsibility for the material things, without having to invest emotionally with patience and time. That's why your relationship is now lukewarm.

A relationship like that is actually pretty bad. If there's only social responsibility between two people and no inner emotional integrity, it'll feel empty and boring because it can't nourish the human heart and provide people with what they need. Instead, it'll just consume each other's emotions.

It's important to try to see things from your partner's perspective.

Wives should care about their husbands' emotions and try to understand the difficulties they encounter at work. They can offer advice if needed.

It's important for husbands to understand their wives' difficulties and to help each other. If you encounter some difficulties at work, you can ask your wife to help you solve them together. After all, "an outsider sees more clearly than an insider," and you may encounter some difficulties at work. Talking about them with your wife after you get home may help you solve the problem.

In a great marriage, both partners take responsibility for each other and their emotions. They support each other and take care of each other's feelings in a serious and responsible way.

A happy marriage is one where the couple goes beyond the typical roles of husband and wife and has a deeper emotional connection and flow within.

This kind of marriage will bring you the rewards you're looking for, and it won't affect the trust and expectations you have for each other.

I'd like to share some thoughts with you as a couple. I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on your own shortcomings and inadequacies.

From your description, I can identify several key words: lofty ideals and a stable life, a man who works very hard, and the woman behind the entrepreneurial man. I love him, not that I don't love him anymore. The other issues are boredom, pity, and a matter of principle.

Based on the information provided, I believe you are an ideal match. You complement each other well, with different personalities and characteristics. It is commendable to still have love and respect after 10 years of marriage. I encourage you to continue nurturing this relationship.

Some individuals are driven to pursue ambitious goals, while others provide support from behind the scenes. Some lead lives of ordinary routine, while others are willing to take risks and pursue more ambitious objectives.

The values of marriage and the life aspirations of the two of you appear to indicate that marriage is for two people, while aspirations are for one person. This suggests that the values of marriage are more inclined towards love and loyalty to each other. Is this an accurate assessment?

In fact, I would like to inquire as to whether he still has feelings for you.

If there is still a mutual romantic interest and affection between you, can you identify any reasons to justify ending the relationship?

After 10 years, a lack of stimulation can lead to feelings of boredom. It is important to recognize that boredom is a natural phenomenon and to identify ways to combat it.

There was no communication between you. Please indicate whether there were a few instances over the past ten years. Please describe the circumstances surrounding each instance.

Please describe the circumstances surrounding the aforementioned incident.

Please take the time to consider this matter carefully and implement changes gradually.

I understand your feelings, it's tough when you're both on different pages in life. It seems like communication is key here. Maybe we could try talking more about our future, what we really want and see if there's common ground. Also, suggesting small changes to bring us closer despite his busy schedule might help.

It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this. The difference in ambitions can strain even the strongest relationships. Perhaps it's worth exploring ways to support each other's dreams while finding a balance that allows for a bit of comfort and companionship. Could counseling provide an outside perspective that helps bridge the gap between your visions?

The journey with someone who has big dreams can be exhausting when it doesn't align with your own desires. It's important to recognize your needs too. Have you considered expressing your need for a stable life and perhaps negotiating milestones or setting boundaries that honor both your ambitions and the stability you seek? Sometimes, redefining success together can lead to a fulfilling path.
