[quote=Anonymous]No affairs, abuse, addiction.  But marriage has been dysfunctional for many years.  Both of us have had mental health issues which we are being treated for.  We have 2 elementary school age kids so there is a desire to stay together and  we have been in marital counseling for several months.  We seem to take steps forward and then go backwards-- I see my husband as emotionally distant and he views me as not giving him enough physical affection.  I have resentment around him not doing his full share of house/kid duties, not seeming to care about me as a person, and investing all of his passion/energy in his hobby and dialing it in at home.  My husband is resentful that I had bad mental health issues early in our marriage which he feels changed me as a person and impacted what should have been the early blissful years of first being married.   We have sex around 3x a month.  Both of us are introverts and need a lot of alone time to recharge.  Sorry for the rambling post-- can my husband who seemingly has a lack of love/passion for the marriage be able to find it again-- I probably have similar feelings as well if I'm being honest with myself.[/quote]
