Was anyone ever in a long term relationship where they just weren't happy? Like dont get me wrong I…

Its normal to want affection and more love and if your husband isn’t giving it to you... it’s only natural your going crave another mans touch. Men get comfortable way too easy and forget we still want to feel passion and spark. I would try to create moments were he has to step up his game... like a night in a nice hotel, a Romantic dinner, surprise him with you wearing a sexy lingerie when he comes home etc

@nizzynatty66 were still intimate but theres not as much touching.

Totally normal. Fyi I didn't read other comments, so if someone already said this I'm sorry, but I'd focus on what you used to do.and no longer don't. Or times and things you may nitpick when you didn't. I'm certainly not saying it is your fault, just it is natural for both parties to start to take the other for granted, and a good way to correct it is for the first person who notices starts to make changes and holding themselves up to a higher standard of caring for the other. Try to see him the way you did at the beginning.

To answer your question though, yes, I was in a long term relationship I wasn't happy in, but I was verbally and emotionally abused so it is different from what you are talking about.

@spud just wam bam thank you maam

Im in the same exact situation and it sucks

I don't think it's a bad thing you think of other men. You are craving affection from your husband. I think you should tell him. How will he know if you never speak up. I think being in a relationship if you're not happy isn't healthy. Looks good but if he feels the same way too then it reflects why he doesn't show much affection. Then again if you told him and things change its well worth the continuous of a relationship then. Hope things work out for you.

It’s natural to want affection, but I don’t think you should be thinking about other men. Sit down and really talk to your husband . Tell him what you need and want. Marriages are hard and yes you get too comfortable but if you’re treated good it’s worth fighting for

I'm going through this to, it hurts I miss the man I fell in love with, something seems to always happen it gets pushed aside because we're tired, stressed, I bring it up I'm it gets better for a few days then we fall back into it, sometimes It just feel forced like a chore. It takes time and patience and consistency, just need to make time, sometimes it's a little thing like playing a game after the kids go to sleep or doing housework together, the spark is always there .

@angelaquintana1011 every time I've said something to him it does get better for a short while. Then were back to the same old thing

^same for me too. I’m the same as you too. Does your mind wonder what it’ll be like if you found someone else? Not a that I ever would. We’re together for life lol. But I Do wonder.

@m.daviees I do think about that
