I Can't Remember the Last Time I Wanted Him

She's 41, two kids, fourteen years in, and she still loves her husband. She just can't remember the last time she wanted him. This week's relationship story submission asks the question “is this just what happens now? And if it is, isn't the loving thing to stop making it a crisis and just keep faking it?” Brittany and Mallaree get into what's actually happening when desire seems to go offline and why "just push through it" quietly makes things worse, the difference between the kind of wanting you've been told to expect and the kind most of us actually have, and the moment a partner who simply misses you tips into something unhealthy. Is it normal? Yes. Is it something you just have to accept? No. Got a story you're quietly wondering about?
