How did you know you weren't in love anymore?

My husband and I have recently separated but still living together. Getting along actually better than before we (I) made the decision but it's confusing because I find myself thinking "do I really want to separate? Things aren't that bad".
But I have no desire to be intimate or affectionate with him, I'd have to force that, it doesn't come naturally to me anymore. I also don't particularly look forward to him coming home or spending time with him, we have different interests now. I'm sure I just love him as a family member or friend.
How did you know you didn't have those feelings anymore?

Trying to stick to my decision (after over a year of turmoil and going around in circles) and not just think it's easier to stay for the sake of DS.

Thanks for your posts and sorry I hear that you are still going through this. What makes it extra difficult is that DH is wonderful in every other way but I just don't fancy him. Has anyone made themselves sleep with their DH and has this helped things? I ask as I have seen on advice forums that they way to want sex is to have sex (crazy as it sounds). Feels slightly wrong though. I'd be interested to know if anyone managed to fancy their DH again and how.
