I'm unhappy in my marriage. I have a 2 year old boy that I love more than anything in the world. My wife is very talented and beautiful, she is a great mother. But her and I have little to talk about, we are very distant, and she seems to always be angry with me. She wants me to be more engaged at our home. I want to be, but I don't enjoy being home. I love my boy and love playing with him. I don't enjoy being around her, it is mostly nagging. When I try to talk with her both of us get angry quickly. It's very hard to have an open conversation. I am happy at work and unhappy at home. I watch the clock at home but enjoy work - it's backwards.
A little over a year ago I got involved with a woman from work. No sex but some physical intimacy, mostly emotional intimacy. The affair lasted about two months and has been over for well over a year. I haven't seen or spoken to the woman for over a year. I believe most of my wife's anger is over this issue. We were distant prior to the issue and continue to be. I don't know how to feel connected with her. I'm very lonely. I'm sure my wife is as well. I'm trying to fill the void with male friends and trying to avoid women. Please help.
