I've decided my DH doesn't meet my emotional needs

[fuzzyface]

He's reliable and solid and he loves me. This should be enough.
But there's no romance. He can be so aloof. He thinks expression of love is sex. He would never think just to say something nice or send a nice text etc.
I'm not even sure what I'm getting at but I just feel distant from him right now.

Do you feel that this is becoming a deal breaker for you? Have you tried to have a chat to him about it? X

Have you got DCs? I think the qualities you mention that he does have outweigh the difficulties of separating if so.

Have you heard of the different love languages

Yes three young dc

Have you talked to him about this?

Has he any idea how discontented you are and that you're prepared to give up on your relationship?

I don't know anyone whose partner meets their emotional needs, honestly. You either learn to deal with it and meet your own emotional needs (or make friends with lots of people who can) ...or bail.

Or have an affair, I suppose, but that doesn't seem right.

@fuzzyface I could have written your post word for word. I'm at a real cross roads and have not a clue which way to go. My DH is as emotional as an octopus and he sees, very boring, sex as an expression of his love. I literally lie there and think of England.

I've tried to talk to my DH about it but he's not interested.
