Hey all.  I've (33 yrs) been married for 8 years and have a 6 yr old with my husband (36 yrs old).  We were together about a year before we got married.  For the past 2 years I haven't felt like I am "in love" with him.  I feel kind of indifferent to him.  He's okay, I think he's attractive, but I don't really want to have sex with him.  Sex feels like a chore, talking to him feels like a chore, I don't really look forward to coming home or spending time with him.  I don't DISLIKE him as a person, but I find more things about him that I dislike now than I like.  He seems pretty unhappy and I feel like he takes this out on our daughter.  He constantly rides her and is almost mean to her and it is sad because he used to be the most amazing father ever, he lived for her happiness.

I want things to work, but pretty much only for my daughter's sake and for practical purposes at this point.  I hate the thought of my child coming from a "broken household."  He's in school and doesn't have a job so I'm financially supporting us and we still own a house together that if we tried to sell, we'd be in the hole about $30,000 (house value dropped by 1/3 since we bought it).

Have you ever felt completely out of love with your SO, but then felt back in love with them again? It's been a while
