[quote=Anonymous]I can relate to your post OP.

No near affair and my DH does make efforts to engage me in conversation, but he's generally a very independent person, introverted, and he works a lot.  I'm fairly low on his list of priorities and I feel lonely a lot.

I feel the same way about putting in effort.  I almost feel defensive at this point and am in self-protection mode.  I don't want to put myself out there and then feel bad.  So sometimes it's easier to just not do anything.

We have kids.  If we didn't have kids, I would realistically probably not stay with him.  Then again, if we didn't have kids I think he'd have more energy to spend on our relationship.  But we do have kids and he's a great dad and we have a no-conflict home.  We get along fine.  So I'm not blowing up my family over this.

I am hopeful that as our kids get older and careers shift that things will improve.  I think, in my case, this is possible.  I still like him as a person and enjoy being with him and nothing awful has happened that I can't get past.  I just feel disconnected.   If not, we'll see once my kids are out of the house.[/quote]
