I just don't love DH anymore.

First time poster so pls bear with me. Background: We're both 30s, together 10 yrs married for 7yrs with 1 toddler. We both have great jobs, financially secure, own house and friends. We don't argue much (when we do it's the silly things e.g about leaving the towels on the floor.again). He's a great husband and a great father. Really there's not much more i can ask of him. He is always attentive to my needs, i fi want to go out he is fine with that and will stay in to babysit. He gets up with toddler in the mornings and at night. We are compatible, we have the same outlook in life and have the same goals. Aka: life is good and there is nothing wrong.

Except i don't love him anymore. Or at least i don't think i do. So that's why im here to hopefully get a 3rd party unbiased perspective. I don't feel physically attracted to him anymore. I don't want him to touch me in bed, and i swear sometimes i even without thinking: flitch. Sometimes he get a bit needy and i just lose my patience with him and that gets to me. Slowly but surly, the small things he does that i hate gets on my nerves more and more. For example, how many times have i told him to not leave the towels on the floor???!! I don't care if he doesn't come out with bub and I, actually at times i prefer if he just stays home. I don't look forward to seeing him even after months apart (yes, that really happened).

I love him as a good honest person. He's a great husband and father. But I don't think I'm in love with him anymore.

Thoughts?

Sorry am new to this, how do i look up your posts? And do you mean your husband is incompetent? Because to be honest, my dh isn't. If you re-read my posts you'll find there is nothing wrong with my dh, more so the problems lie with me. Maybe different situations?

@overthehill: Thank you for being considerate to my much-needed-positive-vibes right now. And I'm sorry to hear the unraveling of your marriage and hope that you are in a happier place than before.

First session attended and left me a lot to think and reflective upon. My first homework: she encouraged me to look at my husband at night (when he is sleeping) and asks me what i see. And I'm supposed to report to her in our next session.Smile
