My and my boyfriend have been together 6 years and have 2 beautiful children. We have both put on weight since we first met like most couples, however he has put on a lot (in excess of 7/8 stone).
His weight doesn’t affect the way I feel about him as of course I love him because of who he is and not what he looks like, however I am not sexually attracted to him anymore.... and I don’t know what to do.
I have politely tried to mention dieting together and getting healthy as a family which works for about a week and then old eating habits creep in. As much as I try at home, he is a grown man so I can’t control what he eats at work ( I have tried packed lunches before and he doesn’t eat them!)
Don’t get me wrong, of course I still love him but I hate not having any sexual connection in our relationship.

I feel awful for saying this but I don’t know what to do...
