15 Years Married But Feeling Like Roommates 💔😔

After 15 years of marriage and two beautiful kids, I'm struggling with something I never thought I'd face. My husband is an amazing father and provider, but we've become more like roommates than lovers 😞 We can go months without any intimacy, and when I try to talk about it, he agrees something needs to change but nothing ever does. He just doesn't seem to have that drive, and honestly, I've started to resent even his goodbye kisses 💔 I catch myself having dreams about old relationships and wondering "what if." The only thing stopping me from seeking connection elsewhere is lack of opportunity. I feel trapped between wanting to keep our family together and craving the intimacy that's been missing for so long. Have you ever felt stuck between duty and desire? I'd love to hear your thoughts 💭 #MarriageStruggles #IntimacyIssues #FeelingTrapped #FamilyRelationships

Can I ignore his quirks and continue living with him?😅

Four years together, no kids, and my husband seems to have less interest in sex than he does in picking out socks. At home, we’re lucky if it happens once a month, and vacations? Forget it—he’s asleep before I can even hint at romance. I’ve ruled out all the usual suspects: stress, low libido, relationship drama. Our only fight is about this! What really confuses me is his past—strip clubs, lap dances, and a secret porn habit. He promised to stop, but nothing changed. When I try to talk about it, he blames our relationship or says he feels pressured. Last time I suggested intimacy on a trip, he got upset and said I was ruining the night. I’m left wondering: is he asexual, hiding something, or just not that into me? I love him, but I’m stuck in this mystery. Has anyone else felt this lost in their marriage? Please, tell me I’m not alone. 💔 #MarriageStruggles #RelationshipMystery #IntimacyIssues #FamilyRelationships

Is My Girlfriend Hiding Something or Am I Just Paranoid? 😵‍💔

I've been with my girlfriend for almost two years, and honestly, I thought we were solid. We laugh, we talk about the future, and I really do love everything about her. But when it comes to sex, it feels like I'm on a different planet. She says she's just not that into it, and nothing I do seems to help. I try to talk about it, but she gets annoyed and says it's all I care about. I swear that's not true! I just want to understand her and not mess things up. The other night, we were hanging out in my car after a movie, and I tried to get close, but she just shut down. She said my attempts were a turn off, but she never tells me what she actually wants. I left feeling angry, confused, and honestly a little scared that maybe she's not attracted to me at all. Am I just overthinking, or is there something she's not telling me? I feel like I'm losing my mind here. What would you do if you were me? 😩🤔 Seriously, I need someone to talk to about this. Please tell me I'm not crazy! #relationshipproblems #confusedfeelings #needadvice #intimacyissues #RomanticRelationships

When Intimacy Fades: Can Love Survive Without It? 💔

Hey there, I never thought I’d be the one asking for advice about my own relationship, but here I am. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years, living together for four, and honestly, it feels like we’re just roommates lately. We used to be all about cuddles, kisses, and late-night talks, but after he went through a tough time with his mental health and started new medication, things changed. His sex drive disappeared, and suddenly, intimacy became this awkward, tiptoed-around topic. I tried to be understanding—love is more than just sex, right? But as time went on, the romance faded, and I started to wonder if we were just coexisting. We both got caught up in work, anxiety, and just… life. Now, he says he wants to try again—gym dates, candlelit dinners, the whole nine yards. But I’m scared. What if it’s too late? What if I’m the only one who still wants that spark? Has anyone else felt like this? I could really use some honest advice. 😔 #relationshipadvice #intimacyissues #emotionalstruggles #couplescounseling #RomanticRelationships

When Caregiving Turns Into Loneliness: My Fiancé and I Drift Apart

Ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of a relationship on your own shoulders? That’s me, 32, engaged to my partner for three years, and lately, I feel more like a caretaker than a fiancé. When we met, we were both smokers and a little overweight, but I quit and tried to get healthier. He, on the other hand, slipped back into old habits, and now the smell of smoke is so strong we sleep in separate rooms. After his cancer diagnosis, I did everything—bills, cleaning, even his wound care. Now he’s recovered, but nothing’s changed. I still remind his about appointments, handle all the chores, and pay the bills. Intimacy? Gone. Attraction? Fading. I’m exhausted, but every time I bring it up, it turns into a fight. Am I wrong for wanting more, or just tired of being the only one trying? Sometimes I wonder if surviving cancer should’ve changed things, but here we are. Ever felt invisible in your own relationship? 😔 #relationshipstruggles #caregiverfatigue #emotionaldistance #intimacyissues #RomanticRelationships
