What was the trigger?
People don't stop having sex for no reason at all.
Birth of a child is a fairly common reason, which could be down to hormonal changes, psychological or just plain old tiredness from running around organising the kids lives 24/7.
If someone has had a major change in there life, you could be cassanova and all the flowers in the world will not get them hot for you.
A conversation however is a good starting point. Talking about feelings and that you feel she is no longer attracted to you could be a start. Don't blame just try to understand.
Once you understand you can work on solutions, if there are any.

Brilliant advice i have never been a talker and I avoid conflict whenever I can I don't want to see her upset and it's likely that she will, I have tried getting myself in more shape tidying myself up so to speak too thought it might prompt a conversation but nothing |

I'm not a big talker either but having honest conversations with the one you love should be the exception to that.
If you saw someone crying but did not speak to them how would you help?
You can't help, without communicating first. Is it physical, emotional, psychological etc. Acts of seduction would be physical signs of affection. As they have not worked something else is likely to be the issue rather than your looks or lack of gifts. |

If you can't have an open and honest conversation on a relationship then it's doomed to fail, I wouldn't say cheating on her on a swinging site is going to improve anything. Sack up and talk to her  |

You're in a difficult situation OP and it's not easy when someone doesn't show you any physical attention, it doesn't exactly make you feel wanted and needed which pushes you away. This then makes the possibility of talking even harder to do, but unfortunately it's the only answer to your question.
You need to sit her down and have an honest and open conversation with her, be prepared to listen well, then go from there. Good luck OP. |

"Thankyou lovely xx I'm probaly making excuses but it's hard when kid in the way too etc and I work shifts so can go a week without seeing her"
It sounds like you need to see your gp. Make an appointment for the both of you. Your so young too to throw it all away.
Pluck up the courage and talk if not ask your gp. Could be many reasons why she is so cold towards you.
Tell her you are on here.

Maybe seeing your child as a "kid in the way" could be a factor.
And if you don't see her does that mean she's a lone parent much of the time ? This also could just be so stressful that tending to your needs aren't high on her agenda, if you co parent and share the workload please disregard my last paragraph x |

As a side note when I was juggling looking after young children and household jobs,my man washing up and doing the hoovering was more of an aphrodisiac than any chocolate or underwear, that he understood I was struggling and wanted to take some of the strain spoke volumes. |

"I do loads of jobs cooking cleaning childcare washing no effect sadly"
Wow... It's hard
A wife to provide for
Your child... Your baby... Kids are baby goats
You work shifts
You don't see her she don't see you... I feel like your love has been lost.
It takes two to tango
Love to hear her side

Speaking as one of "us two" who have managed several decades of being together there is only one key to keeping it all going: COMMUNICATION!
If you can't tell her there is a problem and she can't tell you then unless by some miracle a third party intervenes and bangs your heads together then there isn't a hope in hell of fixing anything.
It doesn't have to be confrontational. You just got to make some quiet time together and then ask her if she's feeling left out of the relationship because of her workload and you being on shifts. Then tell her you're asking because it feels like that for you too.
Then between you devise together time. That doesn't mean having to jet off to somewhere exotic. The kitchen is exotic if it gives 5 minutes of just cuddling and holding on a regular basis.
Together time can even be just doing jobs together. In the garden here she is the boss as she knows all about plants and stuff. I dig holes under direction and mow the lawn. but it does mean we are together and I can grab a sneaky squeeze or kiss from time to time.
Good luck. |

So instead of trying to talk about your relationship and see why has all the passion gone - why not go on a sex site and cheat on your partner... And then complain. Am I the only one who doesn't support cheats? |

Check out PST Psycho Sexual Therapist and find a person local to you, Yes it will cost you but it's cheaper than divorce and a lot healthier than staying in a relationship which in truth neither of you will be happy with.

As we all know sex is great. Therefore, there must be a reason your wife has gone off sex. You need to talk to her and find out why. Tell her a sex life is important to you.
The problem with long term relationships is keeping things fresh. You both kind of know what the other one is going to do next. If you don't work at it sex can become samey. |

The reason I want to fuck my man is because he's funny and I like his company. He's shit at massage and he's never bought me flowers. I like eating out now and again but I'd much rather try and beat him at cards or fifa. The way to a woman's knickers is talking to her and be good company x |

Can I ask why are you asking us worthy people for advice one year into your membership? The advice we give I might add is second to none mind

It could be anything that's putting her off op,the best person to ask is her.
Then be prepared to deal either whatever you find out.
She could already be suspicious of you,especially if you have like you say smartened yourself up a bit...

"Thanks for the advice I just need to man up, difficult situation tho"
Maybe you are already in the worst situation, and you don't have to tread so lightly? If you try to talk and she shuts it down with a firm closed-ended brush-off, talks and talks in a monologue and puts up a wall of sound explaining how happy we (sic.) are, or any of these things, you are only confirming you are in the place you are in. Then you can work out were to go from here. If she reaches out for your figuratively outreaching hand - then maybe something good can happen.
Just my thoughts - can't say how right they are... |

In swinging and at clubs, while in a couple before, we met lots of people - both ladies and guys - who love their spouse but will not and / or cannot live without sex - so they go swinging, have a play-partner, etc.
One variant which I found amusing when I/we first met it is a "couple" on the scene who explain they are married - but no to each other... A lady who isn't getting sex in marriage meets a guy who isn't getting sex in marriage, and they develop this third entity, their "primary play partner" relationship - from which they may or may not "swing".
Etc.
People do find ways of coping, while keeping family and marriage together.
Some people find the sex and excitement they need outside their marriage with the knowledge of their spouse. Often it's "I don't want to know the details, and I couldn't take being publicly embarrassed - but I know you need to go and do what you do".
So even if things have taken up the form they are always going to be, it doesn't have to mean the end of your marriage - which is good news?! |

I was in the same situation as you OP, although no children involved. I had to leave the relationship as despite everything my ex just didn’t want sex and I was made to feel it was all my fault. Hope you manage to work things out! |

How long you been married?
Has she lost her libido by having your kids?
Are you sleeping in same bed still..
Ask your gp.
Seek advice
You can work it out.
Fab isn't the place to find love though.
Kind regards |

She won’t initiate any of those things because she’s probably afraid you’ll take it as a que for sex. Try the hug but nothing more (even if you really really want it) tell her it’s just hugs. Don’t try ambush her into sex. Give affection... and talk to her. It could be something simple. |

"Married 7 years together nearly 10 all sex has pretty much stopped since birth of child 5 years ago"
There is your answer
Lost her libido after bearing you child. It happens a lot. Maybe she is scared of all sorts of things. Talk to your gp about it.

Don't get me started on cheats it's so wrong! And people just do it with ease which baffles me  |
