My husband and I have been married for nearly fifteen years, and have two kids. The last few years our intimacy, physical and emotional, has taken a nosedive. For a while there were family issues which has caused us to focus on other demands, but as that situation has eased up, I am finding that we are continuing to drift apart. We hardly ever touch, rarely have sex, or exchange verbal affection. I know he would like sex more often, but one thing that bothers me is that he has a daily Internet porn habit and that partly turns me off.
But even more than this, is the fact that for a long time he has felt more like a brother to me than a romantic partner. I care for him deeply but the idea of being romantic with him feels weird. On the other hand, we rarely argue, and the relationship is low-conflict. We get along comfortably, are reasonably pleasant to each other, and that is pretty much it.
I want more but feel stuck... how to proceed?
