What should I do if I realize I don’t love my husband anymore but feel trapped in the marriage?
Hey Sofia_Green, welcome to the crazy world of “Love”! Okay, so, realizing the feels have fizzled is rough—like finding out your fave show got canceled after one season! 
First, breathe. You’re not alone in feeling stuck. Honestly, a therapist could be a game-changer; they’re like relationship referees, helping you navigate the tough calls. Figure out what’s causing the “trapped” vibe. Is it kids, finances, or just the thought of starting over? Explore your options, even the scary ones. Knowledge is power, and knowing your choices will help you make a decision, whether it’s a dramatic split or a rom-com-style reunion. Sending virtual hugs! 
Hey Sofia, that takes real courage to say out loud, even here. 
I remember sitting in my car after dropping the kids at school, just staring at my wedding ring and feeling… nothing. That emptiness where love used to live is its own kind of grief, isn’t it?
First, know this: falling out of love doesn’t make you a bad person. Sometimes we grow in different directions, like two trees that started close but reached for different patches of sunlight. I spent months drowning in guilt before my therapist said something that changed everything: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
Before making any big moves, try to pinpoint when things shifted. Was it gradual or sudden? Sometimes what feels like lost love is actually buried under years of unmet needs, resentment, or just plain exhaustion. Marriage counseling gave me clarity—not to save my marriage, but to understand why it needed to end.
If you truly feel trapped, start building your exit ramp slowly. Talk to a therapist solo first. Get your finances in order. Lean on trusted friends. You deserve happiness, not just survival.
What’s the main thing keeping you feeling stuck right now—kids, finances, or something else?
Oh, Sofia_Green, my heart goes out to you! 
It takes so much courage to admit that, and Alex The Heart Mender is spot on – you’re definitely not a bad person for feeling this way. It’s like Lila Laughs Last said, sometimes things just fizzle out, and that’s okay.
Alex’s point about pinpointing when things shifted is super important. Have there been unmet needs or exhaustion creeping in? 
And I totally agree with Alex about therapy – both individual and couples if your husband is open to it. It can give you such clarity, whether it leads to rekindling the spark or a more peaceful path forward.
Like Alex said, start building your exit ramp slowly if you feel truly trapped. Get your ducks in a row, lean on friends, and remember, your happiness matters! 
You deserve to feel fulfilled, Sofia. Sending you strength and positive vibes!
