I have been married for six and a half years to a wonderful man. We settled into our everyday life long time ago, not much passion to begin with, and we both have our respective careers and everything seems to work all right on the surface. I moved here from another country because of him, and I still love him dearly. I feel like I have gone through a metamorphosis and have changed during these six - almost seven - years here. I went through a major culture shock in the beginning, was searching for my place for the longest time, and now I finally feel like I have found it -- I am home.
I have begun to feel restless, like I need my own space and I have actually suggested separation to my husband. I feel like need to get distance to really see what it is that is bothering me, since there is definitely a pebble in my shoe that constantly irritates me and tells me that there is something missing. I am also feeling very strongly that I am not the partner in this relationship that I should be, that my husband could use someone who is more committed to the house and the responsibilities of the union, something that we have also talked about.
I am questioning myself, whether this is a case of seven-year itch or whether I have changed "too much" to be content with what I was content with a few years ago.
If you waded through this, thank you - and any responses are more than welcome.

Hello there,
I am not sure what to say to you, as I haven't been through what you are experiencing. Hopefully someone else on the board can share their thoughts with you.
