Nc'd for this as dh knows my usual nickname.
Dh and I have been together for 7 years, married for 3, with 3yo ds and currently pregnant with dc2.
When we first met I was an absolute mess - been dumped by my childhood sweetheart, taking drugs and as a result lost my job and was almost homeless, huge money problems etc. Dh came along like a knight in shining armour - absolutey adores me, Oxford educated, great job, good looking. He sorted me out with somewhere to live, I got a new job, no drugs and off we skipped into the sunset.
Since having ds I just don't feel I love him any more.I read somewhere a few years ago that it's very easy to confuse gratitude with love and I just can't shake the feeling that's what I've done. It's almost like a switch has been flicked and now everything he does makes me realise how incompatible we are.
I don't want to be with anyone else. I just want to be able to love my husband. I can see how much it hurts him when I snap at him for doing something irritating or forcing myself to laugh at one of his hideously long anecdotes that don't actually go anywhere.
Does anyone have any experience of anything like this? Is it possible to make yourself fall in love with someone through sheer will? Even if that person is really, really irritating?
