So last night I proposed an idea to my husband that we have a date night once a week. It could be as simple as just designating the night as time for the two of us, after our daughter is in bed.

He didn't really seem very excited about it. Kinda like "uh, okay." Like he'll do it, but he doesn't want to.

I am so frustrated. I don't know how to bring us closer together. We are drifting apart emotionally and it scares me. We haven't had sex in nearly a YEAR and the relationship has been sexless (less than 10 x a year) for over 8 YEARS. I can't take this anymore. I need him to want me. I don't feel wanted. I know sex doesn't = love but I don't know what the problem is.

I don't want to divorce him. But I'm not happy. And I'm scared.

Oh man I know how you feel. I don' know what to do about it either, but I am going through a similar thing. I want to feel wanted again. The thing with my guy is he promises we will have those nights then never follows through.

Good luck, I wish I knew what to tell you

((((((((Martina))))))))

I'm so sorry that this is happening. I couldn't agree more with Madi, you need to know what's going on & if there's something's happening that you're not aware of.

I hope you are able to sort it Martina. We're here to support you so please don't think you're on your own.
