Husband seems to have lost interest - is it me or the move?

Please help. I am moving abroad and my DH and I have been sorting out all the logistics and organisation for months. He’s working extra hard and has been incredibly stressed about it all. But lately he just seems to have lost all interest in me. He grew a beard, he’s talking about getting a tattoo…nothing about me and the kids, just a random scene. He barely touches me or kisses me anymore and never initiates anything when previously he was always very hands on!

im worried if it’s not just the stress of the move… if we move and these problems remain, I’ll be utterly alone on the other side of the world. We’ve had arguments about it a couple of times recently and I tell him how lonely I feel and I want my old husband back. But nothing much seems to change. He sits on the sofa at night on his phone or reading. I feel like we have no connection anymore. Help.

I think you need to focus on your future and let this move take it's time to be done.

Why don't you look into what you can be doing in the new country while hes working and the kids are at school. Don't be letting your life revolve around him and the kids.

You are your own person. Be careful not to come across as needy, or you'll be another source of stress for him.
