I’ve been with my spouse for 8 years. We’ve been through a lot together and want the same things from life. We have two children together. [I’m a girl btw, pay no attention to the avatar.] I married when I was 19, had my first child at 21 and second just 1.5 years ago. I’m now 28. I love my girls and don’t want to tear their lives apart. I love my husband too, and he loves me.
The problem is that I love him in a way that’s not passionate. I don’t feel a strong connection with him anymore. He’s a good friend, and I still find him physically attractive, but I have no sexual desire to be close or intimate. I feel myself pull away and want nothing to do with it. We fight a lot. The root of those fights is arguably my own standoffishness toward him.
I just feel like I want to be free. I don’t want to have to answer to him anymore. Sometimes I think I married too young and had kids too fast and now my life is too far entrenched to get out. And so I despair and am very depressed.
