[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you pinpoint a time where things shifted?  If so, what happened?  Are you both committed to making this work?  How does your DH feel?[/quote]

Unfortunately our sexual connection was never that great and it has been going downhill for years. The romantic connection, which I think is seperate, also was not incredibly strong, but was killed over a period of time, starting 5 or so years ago when each of us got wrapped up in our own lives and started resenting each other. Obviously that is something we have worked on in therapy, I've tried to fake it, etc. it's not coming back.

My spouse has much stronger feelings for me, I believe and would be crushed by a break up. Another thing keeping me. I love my spouse, just like a friend or sibling. I am wracked with guilt. [/quote]

Let's see: you married the safe/nice guy who is a good provider but you were never really attracted to him sexually or romantically.  And now you are surprised to find yourself in a passionless marriage?

Just to complete the cliche: who is the new guy in your life that is now giving you the hots?[/quote]
