Some days are harder than others

I think my husband has lost all attraction to me at this point. I can’t remember the last time he touched me, or looked at me like he wanted me. I have no friends left. I have no real career, and yes I devoted 4 years to being a stay at home mom… but I’m not even a great homemaker either.

I feel I have nothing to offer, and I feel very lonely.

Yes this post is pitiful. 🙄

I think that couples can get stuck in a rut sometimes, through routine and circumstance, that dampens the flames of passion. You become too task orientated and in the gaps inbetween you just feel too tired to do anything much else. Romance goes on the back burner. Having kids can definitely compound the situation as you begin to feel and function as parents and not as individuals. It can take a change to reinvigorate things. Having time to yourselves as a couple is important. Also important is keeping fit because fitness tends to aid libido. Making time for each other is the most important thing though and it doesn't have to lead to sexual intimacy. Just any form of intimacy is a start.
