What do you say when your wife says she does not love you anymore

[Gutted75]

My wife and I have been married for 27 years, but together for almost 30. We have 3 grown up sons who all live at home.
As I have gotten older I have put some weight on and this has led to less intimate moments with my wife.
I still fancy her and love to get up close, but with getting older, my weight gain and her menopause I have reduced the intimate moments (stupidly) as I thought that was what she may have wanted.
We get along really well, we laugh and generally have good times, so I felt like I was kidney punched when she made her announcement.
She wants to separate, not divorce, to allow her the time to see how she feels and find out why she is unhappy...... what do I do?

It is nice to see a positive outcome for you both OP. Hopefully this will be the wake up call you needed. You have identified communication as key and you are so right about that. All too often, I think, people say they are listening to their partner without hearing what they are saying. It sounds like because you heard your wife and respected what she wanted, it gave her hope to repair.

I wish you all the luck in the world

I so hope you all work at this your sons have to pull themselves up as well
counselling shoud help
I really hope this is another opportunity for both of you alll the best
