Friendship vibes in relationship

[Lotslikejellytots]

For context, I'm 28, one DC and have been with DP for 7 years.

For a while I've been feeling no real emotional or sexual connection with my DP. When I say a while, I mean years not months. At first I thought it might be just a phase because of DD or life in general. DD is 4 now.

Is this a normal feeling in long term relationships? I keep being told that's just what happens but I'm only 28 - am I really to be in a relationship when I feel no emotional or sexual connection for the rest of my life? I genuinely do just feel like we're just friends most of the time.

Have told DP about my feelings and we are trying to work on it but that's not what I'm asking. Just asking if it's normal to feel like this for years or if it's time to move on.

It happens to a lot of couples.
And it's also normal to want to work through it. Maybe you will end up in a better place as a couple eventually, maybe you won't.
But I wouldn't give it years and years.
Work on it. See if it gets better. Give it your all for a few months. Then decide if you'll stay or go. Don't draw it out.

No advice really but just came to say I'm also feeling like this right now and have been for a long time.
