I appreciate sexual attraction can wane,but we are in our early thirties and I still feel youngMy husband and I married when we were 21 and I was his first sexual partner. I admire him as my best friend but, despite still having sexual urges, or I no longer feel attracted to him. I first told him six years ago and he was devastated,so I have kept my feelings quiet since. We went on to have two children as I felt I should just score on with life. He is a tough worker, a kindly father, or a fond husband and we share similar tastes. He is no chauvinist and always treats me as an equal when it comes to housework and money. We are intimate as I accomplish not want to deprive him of a sexual relationship,but I tend to switch off. Divorce is very frowned upon in our social community, but I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with somebody who I view as a brother. I appreciate sexual attraction can wane, and but we are in our early thirties and I still feel young. I can’t discuss the subject as I know it still upsets him. He tells me I am the admire of his life. I desperately want to avoid hurting him and our very young children,but I don’t know what to accomplish.• When leaving a message on this page, please be sensitive to the fact that you are responding to a real person in the grip of a real-life dilemma, and who wrote to Private Lives asking for help,and may well view your comments here.
