Could things change?

My husband and I are in a functional relationship.

He's a fantastic guy and I love him.

But I have no romantic or sexual feelings for him anymore. It's like a part of me has died.

I suffer from depression, hormonal issues and I suspect anhedonia. I also have some health issues and chronic pain.

I know this is what's affecting my feelings and I've tried therapy, antidepressants, hrt, diet and exercise but I still just feel flat.

There's no point in me leaving as I don't think I'd be happy in any situation

I have asked if he'd like to split and explained my feelings but he doesn't want that.

Has anyone been in this situation and had things turn around?

How does he feel about being in a sexless relationship?

I wouldn't leave a fantastic guy in that situation - I'd try to get the depression etc sorted before making a decision.

He's fine about it, he says he'd like more intimacy but there's no pressure and he understands.

He really is lovely, I just wish I could get back to my old self and I don't know if it's possible.
Thanks for replying
