[quote=Anonymous][quote] Start talking to him. Plan a regular date night where you schedule an activity to do together - tennis? Bowling? Biking? Anything you can do together. Put your resentment aside, share a bottle of wine, and I isolate sex with him. Do it again in a few days. Send him texts thanking him for doing x/y/z, and telling him how much you appreciate something he's done. Ask him to take walks with you after dinner. Start watching a show together, and sit near each other while you watch.

It's not that easy.  I'm not OP but I tried that - scheduling dates and trying to talk to DH. It went nowhere.  I'd suggest like 10 things I wanted to do and he'd be like "yeah, maybe ..." and then never agree to a time to do any of them (they weren't crazy ideas - a movie, a hike, a museum).  I tried talking with him, but he didn't really listen.  He mostly liked to talk about very technical aspects of his job that I don't understand (I WOH, but not in that field).  I just gave up and do my own thing with my sister and other friends and try not to dwell on the fact that DH is essentially not someone that I have a personal relationship with at this point - just politeness and stuff about the kids.[/quote]
