I recently started a thread about my husband wanting a trial separation.
That started but we're also going through marriage counselling. Our communication is already better, but it's led to my husband telling me he doesn't love me anymore and isn't physically attracted to me. He told me not feeling wanted (I was going through reliving a rape and was in the denial stage but now getting help) led to him no longer loving me. There's no anger or hatred. He just feels nothing, like his feelings for me are dead.
Has anyone been through this and got to the attraction and love back? I'm trying to give him space but then I keep thinking space is going to led to the gap growing between us. He says part of him wants this to work but he is on the fence right now.
I know the idea of always being in love is a lie. This isn't about why we got to this point; we're working on that. It's about whether there is hope in that it's possible to get the feelings back.
