So I 38yrs have been with my wife 46yrs for 8 years and married. I love her and I know she loves me but our sex life is nonexistent and there's no passion or excitement anymore. It sometimes feels like I am living with my best friend.

I have always been faithful and would never consider cheating but I am craving sexiness, excitement and passion. I am very confused. I have tried talking to her but she just gets very defensive and upset.

I'm not sure if it could be an age thing but honestly my instinct is that we have just become to comfortable and complacent.

She is an amazing women and I genuinely do love her but have been feeling a pull towards something other than what we have. I don't think I would leave her as I know it would destroy her and I would never want to break her heart, so now I just feel a bit stuck and lonely.

I just miss feeling wanted and desired.

Any advice is welcome
