[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: I’m a woman, and my husband is the one whose personality has dramatically changed.

When I said earlier that I haven’t changed, I meant my personality hasn’t changed. His personality has changed; he went from easygoing and extroverted to really, really negative and angry. It’s noticeable to our kids and close family (mostly his family has noticed).

We are under a lot of stress at the moment, but he’s handling it very poorly.

If he’s cheating, I’m done. I really don’t think he is.

If it’s low T or a midlife crisis, then that’s workable. Hopefully.

To the posters saying 6 months is too soon to think about divorce, let me clarify: I’m not contemplating divorce right now (I’d never leave my kids) and I’d prefer to not divorce when the last one launches. While it’s been 6+ months of no physical contact at all, it was a year+ of minimal contact. None of this happened overnight. If I’m being honest, his personality changed a few years ago: developed a short fuse and basically wasn’t the fun guy I married a million years ago.

I never thought this would happen to us. We seemed solid and happy. Hindsight being 20/20, we invested too much in our kids and careers instead of our marriage. While we were always doing kid stuff/family stuff, we stopped doing anything as just a couple…aside from sex. That’s why losing the intimacy hurts so much. [/quote]

I'm sorry, OP.

You could suggest date nights and see if he is receptive. Maybe go to a movie or play so there is something to focus on. See if you can reconnect. [/quote]

Guys hate "date nights".  That is 100% for women.  Be very direct that you want sex and ask him what will get you there.[/quote]
