OP here.

Thanks to the PPs who shared some of their own thinking. Part of what makes all of this so perplexing is wondering if this is just marriage. Is this just what happens after you send your wedding gown off to be cleaned? Does this happen to everybody? It really seems to be the marriage my husband wants. He worked diligently to push the fun out of this relationship. The extent to which "intimacy, and fun, and friendship, and trust" (poster 17:06) have evaporated is astonishing.

As for less-helpful posters like 16:49, I have attempted in every way I know how to address this with my husband. I have gotten angry; I've tried logic, dialoguing, exploring options; I've cried a lot; I've tried modeling a different, more active type of lifestyle for him to see; I've tried to make special date nights; I've tried to go to the supermarket or cook together; I've alternately tried to include him in my work life and have tried creating an intimate space for just the two of us; I've tried, I've tried, I've tried. (Now go be mean to somebody else.)

And to the poster who suggested I don't care enough, if I appear a bit numb it's because this has been crumbling around me for a long while. [/quote]
