Is this normal? I have been with DH since I was 18, 33 now. We have 2 DC but I am just not attracted to him anymore. I feel we have different lives. I believe its all started with a string of let downs from him, false promises, false hopes… i pay for nearly everything, every bill, groceries, kids birthdays, Christmas… he will pay for meals out to “treat us” but thats about it and he makes me feel as if i should be entirely greatful for it. Ive become increasingly less attracted to him, dont want sex, dont really like him peatering me for sex…and right jos i dont know if that will ever come back. This is not the life he lead me to believe we would have.

I would say with his behaviour that is entirely normal. Sparks would die for a lot less actually. If issues in a relationship (inbalances, etc) aren't addressed then resentment will naturally build and attraction/love will die in time.
If you have tried to address him taking financial advantage of you (and any other inbalances such as housework and childcare) then it might be time to consider leaving. There is much more happiness out there.
