When you're in great shape, smart, beautiful, a great mom, adventurous in bed, & your husband still moves around like you're part of the furniture, doesn't want sex except when he's in perfect health and not stressed (never), doesn't seem to want to spend time with you, is more your roommate than partner, is it fair to ask for more out of life? If he can't love me now, then when? Is it too much to ask for affection, or friendship?
For more than 10 years I've kept putting one foot in front of the other, without meaningful communication or connection. I've got lots of good years left, I have so much to give, but its hard to keep giving to someone who doesn't really care. Is it fair to kids to have them live in a house without love? Is it fair to me, to be asked to live without it? To be rebuffed when I want to talk about what's going on with us? Other than a complete and total lack of intimacy & communication, everything else is fine. But isn't it an essential component of marriage?
