I've separated from DH. He is a good man but the marriage is loveless and sexless. After a number of years of trying, I've decided it would be best to separate and remain friends. My family are the problem. They can't accept reality and are assuming the separation is only temporary until we "resolve things". I don't particularly want to tell them the reasons ... it's private and personal to myself and DH. My family don't rate love and would see a marriage descending into a sister/brother relationship as quite normal (in my family). We met very young and have been married for 25 years. It's my DH who doesn't want sex anymore ... I just can't face the rest of my life without intimacy, no physical/emotional closeness, no hugs, cuddles, no touching. I can't bear it. I've told them it's my decision and to please accept I wouldn't end things without a good reason. What more can I say?
