Putting it very simply I love my husband but I don't fancy him.
I am really missing the intimacy. Is there anyone else in this position ?
I feel my chest tighten at the thought of another 30/40 years of this, it frightens me and I feel sad and panicked at the thought.
It hasn't been an intimate relationship for a long time, we have a child, much wanted by us both, assisted pregnancy. And he is as expected a wonderful father.
My family relationships aren't very good, the thought of my marriage failing is terrifying. I would be alone. Also the longevity of my marriage, about 18 years together, is a great source of confidence for me. But I would love to have a physical connection with someone.
I do understand that every other aspect is very good and that I may find intimacy short lived and 18 years down the road with another partner may not leave me with the loving caring man my husband is.
Thanks anyone for reading this, it's been an interesting process just writing it down, even if it's a bit garbled.
