[quote=Anonymous]i am one of the PPs struggling with my own marriage, and just bumping to see if anybody has updates or advice.

we had a largely sexless marriage for 6 years, and the emotional connection was cut out as well.  we are in therapy now and things are coming to light, but what i struggle with now is how i even feel about DH.  he is a "good"man in the sense that he is loyal and stable, but he is afraid of feeling most feelings and shuts down if i try to talk to him about anything that might evoke stronger feelings than "oh, i'd like chicken for dinner."

he is trying harder to come out of his shell, but he is not seeing an individual counselor even though our couples therapist suggested numerous times that he do his own work (i see my own therapist, which is actually helping me MORE).  so i am concerned how much i could expect things to change.

i have been horribly lonely and feeling rejected over the past many years. and while i am letting go of the resentment that i felt felt, i am finding that my previously loving feelings about my DH are now...kind of nonexistent.

this would be much easier if we did not have kids, but we have two kids 6yo and 4yo.[/quote]
