Did you learn to grow with each other and find things in common. Or did you basically hide the lack of relationship under the rug until one day when the children got older the rug was swept aside making you feel desolate. I am to the point I understand that even though my intentions were good when I decided to raise my children as a family it may have been a choice of bad judgement. And I am really lost as to how to make a relationship with little foundation into a good relationship or if it can be when we have so little common interest or heck such totally different personalitys. And input on how you have dealt with this would be great. Also how it has affected you.
