Is a man in an unhappy marriage still married? Is law or love which makes a marriage?

Actually there is more sense to the question as you continue to think about it.  Love and commitment are more important than 'law'.  So without love you are can still be legally married but maybe not in a 'marriage'.  If you are sufficiently unhappy then you probably shouldn't maintain the sham of a marriage.  Divorce isn't something to be taken lightly and all efforts should be made to preserve the marriage assuming you would like to preserve it.

a marriage is over when both people have no desire to fix it. marriage is hard work. you have to want things to change and work at them in order for them to get better. however, just from reading your question, you have already reached the point on no return.

Hello,\nSeek counseling and help here and try to save it if at all... Talk to him and see if he is open to getting the help he needs with you. Seek marriage counseling too. If he continually cheats though and does not or refuses to change then you do have legal and biblical grounds for getting out and at least separating and even divorce if there is absolutley not resolving the marriage. If you need to talk i am here anytime for you.

If you're not happy with your marriage then end it.  Don't start a realtionship while you're still married get a divorce then go off and do whatever.  Trust me it'll hurt less for your husband if he cares for you even a little bit.

The statistics say that 78% of people in unhappy marriages will find their marriage "very" or "quite" happy within 5 years if they stick it out.  Also, only 25% of single and divorced people find that they are “very” or “quite” happy with there life, this includes people who remarry.  So statistically speaking, your chances of happiness increase if you stay married to your husband.  However, you will never be happy or be able to fall back into love with your husband without putting in some work.  You can take the statistical chance and leave him for your other lover and risk being unhappy or you can cut the other relationship off and have a better chance of being happy and in love with your husband.  You are also running the risk of finding yourself in the same predicament that you are in now with your other person if you don’t tackle the underlying issues that you have.  You need to find out what causes you to fall in and out of love with people and deal with your issues with fidelity,  Bottom line, you are the only one who can make that decision, but weight the risks and benefits of each very carefully.

Only if the old marriage is invalid. If you were a Catholic when you first married, and chose not to marry in the church, this should be easy to prove. A Justice of the Peace Marriage does not a Church Wedding make. Go see your parish priest and begin annulment proceedings. This must be done first.\nGood luck.

Jealously, dishonesty, resentment, and lack of communication makes marriage unstable. Trust and honesty makes life stable.

that depends on weather you want to end your marriage or not. if you are unhappy you should talk with your partner. if they are not willing to listen then follow your heart, but remember that once you cross that line there is no turning back

you have to try and communicate with  him and tell him how you feel without getting into an argumentlet with him be wrongedif it helps, it is not that important to be right is it, after all this is the man you love,and marriage is about giving in to each othera nd if you give in  few times I'm sure he will too,any marriage can work if the couple is willing to work at it!if you really love him then try to work it out with him but try to stay calm and refuse to argue even if you have to be wrong!tell him how you feel try to talk to him calmly and hopefully it isn't too late. I hope it all works out for you the other thought I would have is pray to God for help he will help if you ask himin the name of Jesus, because God as the originator of marriage hates a divorcinga, nd if your aim is to save your marriage what better aley can you have than God himself?anyway wishing you the best success, and may God be with you

If you are concerned about the legal benefis when you marry someone then you should probably not get married. Marriage is about love, not material things you'll receive.

your unhappy, you already "resent" him and are taking out your anger on him. eventually it will turn to bitterness. its a very difficult and gut wrenching decision to divorce *i know*, but if your unhappy your cheating BOTH of you out of finding someone you both can be truly happy with. \nthe best thing to do is to sit down with him, tell him this is a serious discussion and tell him...everything...how you feel. that you absolutely think he is a wonderful man, and that you value him as a person, but that you don't feel the way a wife should about her husband. its not his fault *or yours for that matter*. ask him to respond to that...if he gets upset...well....what can you do. you've told him how you feel and he will need time to digest it. \ntime heals all wounds! and as horrible as it all feels now, it will become a sad distant memory in the future.  \ngood luck!!!

is marriage about love? hello, guess what. marriage is not about love. its about commitment. love's just part of it. why dont you know that? cause you havent stayed married long enough to realize it.

Hey, I know how you feel. I'm the one who told my ex-husband that I wanted a divorce and it took him 2 years to get up off his lazy butt and have it finalized. As for why your ex-husband still acts bitter, I really don't know. MEN!!!

It doesn't sound like a marriage made in heaven.  If your intuition is telling you something is wrong, then I would have to agree with you on that.  With skimpy facts here, I'd say that there is a rocky road ahead for that couple.

In my opinion the two people involved are obviously unhappy with their lives so they need to decide what exactly it is that they want and move on. If you're unhappy in the marriage let it go and be together but if there's still a chance that they can salvage the marriages than they need to walk away from the affair. In any case a decision must be made. It's not fair to anyone involved if things stay the way that they are.

He isn't unhappy with you but he's facing some pressurised or tensions recently which he might spite you.  Is he running his own business?  Well, I don't know but if he does, he may have facing some difficulties.\n\nIf your husband is unhappy with you, he will not wait for 4 years and bore with you 2 lovely children and he could just walk out from you.  Have a talk to him and find out what caused him unhappy and try to find a solution if you can.

you can't make somebody love you, maybe you should revalute why you are still married?? If he does not love you , why stay with him. You have to make your own happiness.
