My wife definitely knows something is up now, I know I can't tell her about this but I'm struggling with how I try to explain why I'm acting differently with her

Part of you acting differently is because of her lack of interest in intimacy with you. Let her take some responsibility for that.

I think most people in a long, ongoing relationship go in and out of feeling "in love." I know I sure do. Two weeks ago, I felt like I was ready to
withdraw permanently from my guy. I got over it. In a marriage or in any committed relationship, you just "ride out" the sterile-feeling intervals. You fake it, till the need for that is replaced by genuine affection. Sometimes, you just "do your duty" . . . IMHO.
Thanks for this!
