was married for 13 1/2 years
only time the flame died was when i found out she was cheating on me
<shrug>


Ditto.... 11 years for me and flames never died till he choose to see if the grass was greener on the other side... He found out too late that it was not..slaphead

I would suggest to remember the way it was when you first met take her out have a Date night once a week if possible. Go out to eat and do something you both enjoy or do things you have not done and would love to try.. Spend quality time with them pay attention to them let them know you love them... Lots of cuddling ....

I'd focus on YOU before HER, you can't change thr way she feels, but you can change you, I have a buddy who said the same things, "my wife couldn't keep her hands off me....now...." I was looking yeah but when they first got together he was about 80lbs lighter, he hung out with hus buddies at least once a week, and he would go and do things apart from her......

now all he did was watch tv, eat, and lay around thr house and wondering why his wife lost interest, its not really surprising, so here's my advice, try to remember what YOU were doing then, and start trying to incorporate thise back into your life, don't feel bad about coming home an hour later because you want to hit the gym on the way home, don't feel bad about planning a "me" weekend on occasion, you'll have something to talk to her about later. almost all the couples I know that work do their own thing at least once a week


I'll also say this, if you suddenly found yourself single tomorrow what would start doing to make yourself more appealing for a future girlfriend? Would it be hitting the gym? Taking a risk on new job that you've always wanted? Join a sports league? whatever it is that you think you'd do to attract a future girlfriend...start doing those things NOW, why should a future girlfriend get the best version of yourself? why doesn't your wife/SO deserve the best version of you?...something to think about
