Attraction to my partner

I don't know why but recently I've been feeling a little less attracted to my husband. I love him so much but for some reason there's just something there that's like get away from me 😅 we've been friends for 12 years this December and it'll be our anniversary in December as well. We're both 20 and met each other in elementary school. I love him and I don't want to leave him but i can't shake the feeling sometimes. Is that normal? Edit: I've been with other people before him and so has he

It could be hormones! Have you felt this way consistently or does it come and go? I know for me, I sometimes feel less attracted to my husband when my hormones are fluctuating during the month. Another thing could be the relationship dynamic that’s affecting your attraction.

What Erica said for sure. Could be hormones. Also if you've changed birth control this can have an impact as well.

@Erica it comes and goes

@Lisa since having our baby, I haven't gotten back on birth control. The kind I'm use to I can't have while breastfeeding so I'm waiting to be done with breastfeeding

I am so sorry you’re feeling this way. It’s very common to feel this way especially post partum. It’s nothing to do with him or you. Just sit down and be honest with him. Having a baby is sooo hard. I felt this way recently with my husband , I had to tell him how I felt instead of keeping it all bottled up. And he understands. We are doing things that we used to that get both of us excited. Like board games or just talking. Even just snuggling in silence

Could be hormones like everyone said or could be depression. Try to have more conversations and open up to him. If you just had a baby it's very normal, you could also try couples therapy to learn how to overcome these feelings
