[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are married 7 years with two small kids. To be honest, we've lost a lot of the "spark" since having our first child, but things seem to be sliding downhill quickly this year. To be clear, I don't think he's cheating and I'm certainly not. We don't really even fight. There's just no warmth between us anymore. He is never affectionate with me and never wants to talk about anything, except that he is quick to criticize things I do. Once our kids are in bed, we eat dinner together maybe talking for a couple minutes about nothing, then sitting at our respective computers till I go to bed. Our sex life has dropped off a lot too.

I know we're not in a great place, but I don't how I can turn things around on my own. He just doesn't seem interested in me at all. I am definitely partially to blame, because much of this year my work has sucked up a lot of my time and energy and I wasn't very responsive to DH on the few occasions he tried to do something nice for me. Now he seems to be completely pulling back and I don't know how to get things back on track when he has no interest in anything I say or do.

Not sure what I should do now. Try marriage counseling, have more sex, give up? FWIW DH is a great dad and devoted to our kids. He's also very responsible with work and taking care of the house. It's just me that no longer interests him.
