I've been married to my husband for 3 years. I think the core of the problem all started when I realized he is not physically attracted to me anymore. Sex went from every day, every week to almost none. I've talked about it over and over again over the course of the last 3 years, nothing changed. I haven't gain a pound, have not physically changed dramatically in any way. I even tried to dress up more and keep up with my looks to get him to notice me, but the only attention I get are from other guys but my own husband. This has caused me to feel unwanted, and also really low about myself.
I feel like he's a roommate living with him. He does get me flowers and nice gifts every now and then, and he thinks I shouldn't ask for anything else. As I have more workload with my struggling business, I feel like he's becoming more of a roommate. He, on the other hand, is more free to do what he wants. He's always on the internet or, lately, what I consider as addicted to social media. Aside from working and coming home to laptop on our own, we don't really go out to dine anywhere or do anything, when we do go out for a meal MAYBE once a week, I feel like its because I'm making him. He hardly ever initiate to go or do anything with me, even as simple as getting a dinner together. When I propose to go out to eat, most of the time he would just ask me to grab him some food. He's content with just eating on our own on a daily basis, and if I have time, watch a movie at home together. And that's about it.
So I take my friends advice to remind him that maybe he needs to tone down on his computer time a bit, and voice up to him that I'm not happy with myself about feeling unattractive with him, and we need to at least go out for a meal as "date night" 2 nights a week together or something.
The unattractive part and sexless part, I always get the same answer as we're beyond the lust stage and he feels like he's lucky he married his bestfriend. Nothing more. So I still feel low. Because obviously he can't even tell me he's attracted to me anymore.
The "we don't do anything on our regular life part", I usually get the "you're never happy" and "why do you have so many problems". Then conversation goes sour and he just walks away back on his laptop.
Seriously seeking advices here. I feel helpless and depress. It's ruining my sleep for many nights, I almost need sleeping pills to have a good night sleep.
