20 year itch.

[Itcanhappeninanysituation]

Been married +20 yr to H, he's not great at affection, sex life is non existent and I don't believe he is attracted to me anymore.

There is love, he's a kind man, a bit lazy and set in is ways.

I just keep thinking is that it. No sex, a man that can barely talk to me. Or show any kind of affection.

Just wanted to know, if that's it, does this happen to most couples. I have better conversations with the dogs and better responses.

Or do I walk away, upsetting family. Because I want someone to hold me and maybe even kiss me. God, it sounds sad when written down.

I'm really sad for you, it is okay to want these things! Don't waste your life if you want these things, no one else can decide for you.

Consider counselling before throwing in the towel entirely.

Thank you, wise words.

I've been married 26+ years and I would never, ever settle for this. We have just one life, I couldn't fathom wasting it in a loveless relationship. I would rather be single until I die then alone in a dead marriage.
