Husband says he doesn't love me anymore

Three weeks ago my husband turned round out of nowhere and told me he didn't love me in a romantic way anymore (in the middle of an argument). This quite frankly knocked me for shit and ashamedly I asked him to stay and promised we could work on things (with a lot of tears). He agreed to stay and despite going back to relatively normal I can't shake the feeling that he's only with me out of pity. He's since said he does love me but he's stressed with work, but now I feel like an utter fool for staying with someone who doesn't feel the same about me.

Should I leave or do you think it was a momentary blip and he really does love me - he is usually an extremely loving and attentive man and I've never had any doubts before! We don't have DC.

There should be a 'start new thread' thing you can click on.
If it's a laptop then it's just below this message on the left.
On a phone - I have no idea - sorry!
Aha - just found it.
So at the top of the page of a thread you'll see that it's

Talk > Relationships. Look just further right and you'll see a down arrow in a circle.
Click on that and you'll see 'start a new thread'
Hope it works.

My husband of 14 years with two children 13&10 went out on a Saturday night, ended up at a house party and strolled in 12pm the next aftrnoon After my numerous calls expressing my anger at him. He came in still kind of hungover and after confronting him just said he can't do this anymore and just doesn't have the same feelings. Says he's felt this way for about six months. However I have not noticed any change or noticing him be unhappy during this time. Everything just seemed normal. He says that there is no one else involved he just doesn't know how he feels anymore. We are due to go on holiday in 4 weeks and still wants to go for the boys sake and however much I want him to go I just don't know if I can take the agony. It's day three since he dropped the bombshell and is still living here, he wants to stay until he can work enough money to secure a deposit. I've tried talking to him to see if we can try and work on it but he is just not the same person, Friday night and Saturday afternoon he was completely normal it's as if that person has disappeared in the space of a night . I am absolutely heartbroken and confused as he can't give me any answers to why the change. I have checked phone bills and Facebook for messages perhaps off someone else but nothing. He has not done disappearing act before this. 😓💔

Hi pennysweet
I was told by husband 2 months ago that he doesn’t love me any more. Loves cares for me as mother of his children. We have been married for 18 years. So he is planning to move out. He is saying he’s just not happy, no other reason is given.

Yes my whole world has shattered in front of me. I feel ashamed, weak, hopeless and non worthy.

As I could feel your pain I thought I will share this. If u have any doubts on his apology have a break and let go sooner than later.

I know it’s painful, people it heals but the longer u spend, rely, and love him the deeper the wound will be. I don’t see my wound healing ever.

Good luck with your decision xxx
