Thank you Starsky. She does realize that I do love her, but she does not feel like she can reciprocate, that the love she has for me is more like family or a friend, but not a husband. She says that she enjoys being with me, raising our S3 together, but just cannot get to the physical aspect. She says that there was no passion in our relationship. A lot of what she says, makes it seem like she has not idea what happens in long term relationships, though I am not going to claim myself to know everything. I know I was not always there for her emotionally, though tried. Mounting resentments did cause some issues with both of us. Work and life stressors, they happen.
Any suggestions, and I am all ears. If keep doing what I am doing and be patient is the answer, then that works for me too.
Been here.
Romance her. Lots of non-sexual interaction. Eye contact, gentle touches. Affirming texts through-out the day. She doesn't like surprises, then don't surprise her. Work on making sure she knows she's the only woman in the world for you. The things we husbands all need to work on. Basically, continue working on being a husband only a fool would leave. The rest will straighten itself out providing she has an awesome sponsor and she sticks to her part of the plan.
