So DH and I have been together since we were 18 (34 now) married for 6 years.

he has become overweight, has sleep apnoea so I bought him a mouth guard and I can’t even look at it in the morning without wanting to puke as it is full of blood from his gums (gingivitis)

I feel awful as he also wants to be intimate, kissing etc but I just don’t want it anymore, I’m not attracted to him at all. I feel so so bad about this and don’t know what to do.

You need honest but gentle communication.

I wouldn’t be attracted to DH if he was overweight and he knows this and takes good care of himself.

I feel so bad, he is the father of my children but I just can’t pretend anymore.

do you love him? i mean attractiveness later on usually comes from being in love with their personality. I would encourage him to get fit and healthy if you do love him but if not then i think you may need to seperate.

You need to be honest with him, so he has the chance to change

Or just leave him if you're unhappy in the relationship and no longer attracted to him

You leave.

There are likely to be many many years ahead of you. Is this really what you want for the rest of your life?
