I can relate to the brother thing...

About 2 days prior to the bomb my W text me to tell me that she is STILL IN love with me. 2 days later the bomb is dropped. 2 days after the bomb..I asked.."do you still love me". The response. Yes, I love you like my brother. To your point the intimacy is gone.

They know they still love you or care for you on a deep level but really they just do not love you that way - at least that is how they feel at the time. The OP does not help either. So what is one to do?

Be the best you can be for YOU. Accept that you cannot change this. Accept that this is their issue to deal with if and/or when they decide to deal with it.

What you hope to gain from this is a better understand of them and yourself. At some point you realize that you need to love them for being themselves - even if that means with you out of the picture.

God Bless,
Eric
