Lost count of the weeks now 4 months ago

We are still living apart but getting on great. Just have this hurdle that I cannot seem to get over. I hope that I do not offend anyone by being so open. I love him very much and believe our relationship is good and I am happy with the way things are, I just do not want to have sex. It does not appeal to me and quite frankly, for me, I think I have better things to do. Is this just me or are there any others like this???
Am I being unrealistic to expect him to accept it? We have many calm and caring conversations about this but I think unless I get over this, it could be a deal breker for him.
Today I have looked into hypnotherapy for this, has anyone tried this? Id rather not be popping pills.

Please help x



Week 3 7 months ago

Last weeks tasks done (Busy week!)
1. Removed my profile from an online dating site.
2. Stopped flirting with a guy at work.
3. H cooked a meal for me.
4. Arranged to stay the long bank holiday weekend with him.
5. H and I discussed possibly moving house (together) to help start afresh.

This weeks things to do,
1. I would like to buy H a small and thoughtful gift to say thank you for a lovely weekend. Must think hard, suggestions welcome.
2. Buy theatre tickets for a show we would both like to see.
3. Remember to sign off every email / text with a kiss.

Have to say that this has all been hard work and I do worry that I will run out of ideas soon enough. It is a constant ringing in my head and I do not doubt that even if we do get through this that making a marriage work takes thought every single day, big and small ways. Tiring week
So please any ANY ANY suggestions would be helpful.

I now know that I want family life more than I want to argue about how clean the house is. Gosh, how sad was I?

Wishing everyone else tackling this all the very best each and every day.



Week 2 8 months ago

Went to collect son on friday night, H had dinner on the go and included me! We all ate in the garden and it was lovely. Sat we ate dinner at his house again and went shopping for sons football boots today before coming back to mine for dinner. Is this family life back on track? Dont want to run before we can walk??? It doesnt feel natural yet



Still week one 8 months ago

Only 2 days in to this overhaul and self improvement journey. Today my H and I were emailing whilst at work, sorting the kids haircuts and play dates and I did something I have not done in more than a year. I signed off saying ” I love you”. Have to say that when I collected my son and had to see him I did feel very uncomfortable and wanted to get out as quickly as possible. He asked me to stay a short while and I sat in the sun whilst the boys played football. When I got home he telephoned to invite us all over for dinner tomorrow night. It might not be a great deal but it feels genuine and positive.



This Weeks Thing to Do 8 months ago

I will write a letter to H telling him all the reasons I think he is such a great person. (We are currently living apart)
