^same here. Mine thrived on the attention from others when she went out. Any compliment I made was met with, "you're my husband, you have to...."
FY, mine wasn't supported by her parents like she should've been. She also suffered/suffers from low self esteem. I truly believe a lot of her problems now are directly caused by these two things.
I find myself thinking about how she/they can change how they view us. My W isn't attracted to me at all right now (no physical changes since we married. I'm the same weight, no gray hair, no hair leaving, been told I look younger than her). I assume its because I'm in the parent role to her. How do they move beyond that projection to desire us again?
