[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell your partner how you feel (rejected, hurt, angry).

Have an open, honest, somewhat painful discussion of what's going on.

Both then commit to change: losing weight, getting in shape, helping each other more with house/bills/kids/schoolwork/IL & sibling issues. Talk some more. Talk again.

Have sex ANYWAY! It's a must to create/build/restore intimacy.

Have time away from the kids to rediscover each other. Enlist parents, friends, sitters if needed.

Do this to SAVE your marriage. It's on the brink. Save it for each other -- and for the kids. (Divorce is no fun. Neither are blended family situations -- flame me if you need to, but it's true. It's full of jealousy and residual pain that can drone on for decades.)

Revisit. Repeat. Revisit again. Repeat again.
Do this until you rediscover each other, your love, why you took your marriage vows in the first place.

Finally, give up if necessary for your sanity. At least you will know that you tried.

Good luck.
[/quote] +1 It's a hard process to go thru when your spouse no longer acts like they love you, it's deep hurt everyday. Try. Try. Try. Counseling is a must. Divorce is no fun.[/quote]

This route is going to be difficult, but worth it, I think. I feel that way about my spouse (not attracted to him) but willing to have sex and stay with family (We are both mid 40s). It may or may not last. [/quote]
