My husband has not made love to me in over 8 months. He swears to be faithful and I have not gotten any reason to suspoct him of infidelity. We have only been married 3 years...any suggestions?

1. Ask him why.

The opposite of love isn't hate...it's indifference

Some suggestions:

1) You've significantly changed physically (bigger/thinner)

2) He has got the impression that sex is unimportant to you, maybe through throw-away comments to friends in his presence or that he always initiates sex

3) You aren't affectionate towards him

I'm afraid us men are actually very fragile creatures with big egos. We need to feel wanted and that sex is important to you too. I know this is a vicious circle as I'm sure you feel the same, but it only takes one of you to make the effort for a while and then (I'm hoping <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) it will become a self-fulfilling circle instead.

Distanced and divorced my WW in December 2003, but trying recovery since April 2004. Is life ever simple!?! Seems not. August 2005 and it's ended - again. Disillusioned with her, but not with marriage.

Is there an age issue? A health issue? We may need more information to accurately suggest ideas.
