Myself [29m] is losing feelings for my [28f] partner of 6 years with 2 kids.
So over the last few weeks I have felt myself feeling more distant with my partner and not wanting to put in the effort like I use to. A big part is that I’ve been away for schooling for the last 6/9 weeks and I’ve tried to keep things interesting, commenting on looks and making sure I let her know that I miss her, and everything we use to do. I’ve brought up things like intimacy and even made comments about how I miss sex and doing things with each other. But there wasn’t ever much said in return or even seemed like she was interested in it. I brought this up to her and we agreed to make more time for each other but things never changed, and I will admit that i tried but nothing. So here I am now. I have lost a lot of interest in any sort of conversation or communication, messages have been short on both ends and it seems stressed. So I’m stuck as to what to do, I do not like conflict so I’m anxious to bring it up because I do not like to upset people. I am also in a place where I don’t want my kids to grow up with separated parents, but I don’t want to be those parents that are just together just for their kids and have to lie and act around them like something we aren’t. I’m sorry if this all seems like a mess but I’m not good with this type of opening up. So I apologize
