I just don't fancy him anymore. We have been together for twelve years and married for ten. Neither of us is drop dead gorgeous, and obviously we did not find each other repugnant or our relationship would never have got off the ground. (I read somewhere about knowing whether you like someone in the first three minutes or something?) Anyway - I fell for him because he adores me, he is kind, funny, reliable, responsible, trustworthy...and has turned out to be fantastic father. We have a wonderful children, a great family life, we both enjoy our jobs, and have lovely holidays. I could never, ever consider leaving him, or having an affair.
But, I just do not fancy him AT ALL and I think he would be so hurt if he knew and it is tearing me apart. He is not fat, or very unnatractive, and, I know this is a cliche but I think of him more like a brother, and I get a bit embarrased when we have sex - like we are doing something wrong. i dont want to do anything other than wham bam, because it just feels wrong and I get self conscious. I just want to get it over and done with as soon as possible. I feel so bloody guilty. I never look at him and think, 'whoar, take me.' I just look at him and think 'aww, bless'.
I don't really know why I am posting this, except that I can't imagine the rest of my life feeling like this about him - we are only in our thirties - but I could never, ever hurt him.
