After 22 years, she feels invisible in her marriage
She describes a faithful, hardworking husband and a dependable life together — yet she feels deeply lonely and unseen in the marriage after 22 years.
Dear Annie: I have been married for 22 years to a good man. He is faithful, hardworking and, by most people’s standards, a wonderful husband. He has never given me any reason to doubt his loyalty, and he has always taken his responsibilities seriously. From the outside, we look like a solid, dependable couple. We raised our children together, built a home, paid the bills and showed up for the holidays, the school concerts and all the ordinary moments that make up a life.
