Is it me or him? Sad and confused

Dh and I have only been married for 2 yrs 4 mths and have an almost 2 year old son. Our relationship has never exactly been some big romance movie type thing but he's a nice, dependable man and we laugh a lot together and I see him as my best friend.

The thing is lately it has got to the point where we hardly every kiss, and when we do it's usually just a peck on the lips. I want to have more kissing, but to be honest I find myself grimacing when we have a snog Sad and even when we have sex there is hardly any kissing. I don't enjoy sex very much (not that I have told him) but feel a bit saddened when he doesn't want it either- I realise this is unfair of me! He rarely does anything spontanious for me anymore and the affection is fading. I feel that the spark is fading and I realise that this happens in most relationships eventually.

What worries me most though, is that I am starting to feel that perhaps we are too different to be a good couple. We don't have very many shared interests anymore as I feel I may have changed since we first got together. (for instance, I love literature- he has never read a book from start to finish!)I also worry that we might not have the same values in our lives. I'm worrying I may have married the wrong man.Please tell me if you think I can fix this? I do love him and care for him, and don't want to throw away our family life but I feel unhappy.

Hmm maybe you could have a weekend away together and try to rediscover each other? I'm confused because you say you want mire kissing, but yet you grimace when you do snob? Do you not find him attractive anymore?

snog so sorry my phone prediction thing is nuts.

I'm not sure loopylou. He has had problems with bad breath so maybe that has put me off with the kissing?
I would love a weekend away but we live overseas with no family nearby to look after ds so not an immediate option. I miss having an intimate relationship and get so jealous when I see happy couples looking loved up.
