I feel like my husband isn’t attracted to me anymore

...See more We have been married for 10 years. I have gained weight after having my last baby 9 years ago. I have been trying to lose weight. I barely eat as it is. But I’m not losing weight. We don’t eat out at all only for special occasions. I weigh about 200lbs. I’m on medication, and my doctor is referring me to a health specialist. I have had tests run for my thyroids and for diabetes. Everything came back normal. My husband doesn’t want sex with me much anymore. I feel like he isn’t attracted to me anymore. I don’t know what else to do. He would rather *** than be with me.

...See more My husband and I have been together for 13 years and married for 10. He is having a hard time letting go of an argument we recently had 4 weeks ago. We have had countless of arguments and fights in the past and now he is having a hard time trusting me to not cause an argument anymore. How can I gain his trust back? It is making it hard for us to move forward and move on with each other.
Affection and marriage issues

...See more My husband and I have had an argument 3 weeks ago that basically put my marriage on the line. A very thin line. After sleeping on the couch for 3 days after the fight happened, he invited me back to our room. Things were fine I guess. We talked a little. I went to the doctor and got on anxiety medicine. It’s a low dose to start off. Not very effective, obviously because I’m still a wreck. I started to show my husband affection and he has never said anything to me about it. I would give him kisses letting him know I love him. We have been intimate at times, but today he tells me he doesn’t want me kissing him in his neck etc., that he doesn’t like that. He has never had an issue with that before when we were in a good place before the argument we had. He tells me he still needs some space and I need to give it to him. I’m scared the more space I give him, he will decide to up and leave me. And I want to work on our marriage and I can’t do it alone. He doesn’t show that he loves me, he won’t tell me he loves me. Any time I’m on my phone he asks me who I’m texting. But I can’t ask him who he’s texting. I don’t know what to do. How do I get him to communicate with me? I want my husband back. I know it may never go back to what it was before, but I want us to be happy again.
How to get my husband to be more affectionate to me

...See more Back in July 30th, my husband and I had a very big fight/argument. It’s been almost 2weeks. I have slept in separate rooms for 3 days before he invited me to go back to our room. It was so bad to the point he was ready to give up on our marriage of 10 years. Friday the 4th of August, we had a good conversation about our issues. We have started getting along. Then we have been intimate as well. I am an affectionate person. I like showing affection to him. I like telling him I love him, etc. I have always loved when he used to love on me and show affection. The other day I was being affectionate to him and told him I love him. Well, he told me to stop hanging all over him. He has not shown any affection to me since we had that argument. I don’t know how to cope with that. I also don’t know how to express to him that I want him to show affection to me. I just don’t want him to get mad or anything for me bringing it up. I need some advice! Thanks!
Does it ever get easier?

...See more My husband and I had an argument 5 days ago. He’s been giving me the silent treatment. I have slept on the couch for 3 nights. Then he invited me to go back to our room. We talked a little bit about our argument. Talked about what needed to change. It was a calm conversation. He has been giving me the silent treatment ever since the argument happened. We communicate only when it’s something that has to be said about vehicles, our kids or something that is important. We are slowly getting back to talking and doing things together. Does this feeling I have about us never getting back to normal ever go away? Will it get back to normal? Does this ever go away and get easier? I want us to be better with each other. I was us to be happy and be able to love each other without this being in the way.

...See more Me and my husband have been together for 12 years, married for 10. He’s ready to walk out of our marriage because of a huge fight we got into 3 days ago. I don’t know what to do. We have 3 kids. I don’t want to lose him. I don’t want to break up our family. I love him so much it hurts. I know I’m at fault because I caused the argument and I caused it to get bad like it did. I want to work on my communication with him. And I want to change into a better person than I have been. He told me to give him some space for a while. How can I not have contact with him especially when I need to talk to him about our kid’s health. I have a son who is sick. He said he’s not leaving me but he needs space for a while. I’ve been giving him space for the last two days. I only respond when he asks a question. I don’t want to lose my husband. I need some advice on what I can do to prove to him that I love him and want to work on our marriage.
