So I am attached and have been for 5 years when we got together we both were very sexually active people and very open then 3 months in something traumatic happened to my other half that stopped her from trusting people and killed her sex drive we went from sex every day to hardly ever. Fast forward 5 years we have two kids but it's been over a year since we last had sex and have almost no intemacy in the relationship. We go to bed at different times and mite as well be in different beds.
I'm miserable and can't take much more so I ask you all for advice as I can't ask friends

"Try talking to your wife
Try to arrange a visit to your Gp.
Try these first.
Kind regards "
Talk to your wife. As if she read this and her personal information was on here shed be heartbroken and more trust issues |

To be clear not married. we spoke about in the past as much as me saying I miss us being intermate and well it just ends up with what feel like a token bit of effection for a couple of days then she falls back into way she was |

Sounds really difficult for you..
Have you told her you are looking elsewhere as a result of her losing interest in sex?
Would it make matters of trust worse if you said you were on fabswingers?
Things do change for all of us,one day at a time,hang on in there and if you feel depressed, perhaps you could talk to your gp about it.
Wish you well.. |

Does your wife know you're on here ?.If she doesn't know and you're outed is likely to break any trust she has in you
I'd hazard a guess you're going to be judged by folk rather than given advice ..
As others are likely to say speak to her |

Wife/partner only difference is a piece of paper. He’s in a committed long term relationship of 5+ years and they have 2 children together. The rest is purely semantics |

Clearly this was a bad idea I was hoping for people to suggest how to approach the conversation or if they have had similar problems and how they overcame them but clearly I didn't make that clear. |

Try focusing on your marriage and not a swinging site,you will find the problem is a lot closer to home - maybe your wife's trust issues stem from your inability to be true to her . Only a thought like |

Ask her if there's anything she needs to talk about and you'll be open minded and listen...
Tell her there's a none sexual hug anytime she wants....
You both could do with talking to a professional...
Good luck op... |

She could be depressed and/or suffering from PTSD due to the previous trauma. The first steps would be seeing her GP and to have some counselling - both for her trauma and your relationship. |

You won't find your answers here. No one can know your relationship and it's issues better than you and your other.
Talk, talk some some, keep talking, and if you both need help find it from those who can provide it in a proper setting. |

After our son was born a 14 year super healthy sex life was lost with 3am feeds, 6.30am starts and no work/life balance.
It would have been easy to give up and look elsewhere but if something's worth the effort most things can be turned round with support for you both, more dialogue about the issue and a better understanding of each others needs.
We sorted ourselves out through spending more time together, finding a decent babysitter and finding jobs with hours that meant we had time to enjoy each other.
Don't give up if it what you really want however fab swingers destroys weak and problematic relationships so be warned.  |

1. Delete your account on here unless you want to risk breaking her heart.
2. Talk to her, be honest but be considerate of her feelings too.
3. Ask her to see her GP and ask for help with whatever caused her trauma. Counselling may help but opening up and talking together will solve a lot.
4. Explain The lack of sex drive and her unhappiness is ready having an impact on you now aswell.
5. Go to bed at the same time and show her care and affection without expecting sex necessarily unless she indicatates she wants more.
6. Show her some attention, show her you still care and still find her attractive.
7. Take her out to dinner, before you do take her out and buy her a new outfit top to bottom to wear whilst at the dinner, deal that if you buy it you have an input in what it is and choose something a little more daring for her.
8. Pay for her to have her hair and nails done before the dinner as a surprise.
That'll be a good start |

The first answer you got on the post was the best.
Random strangers from a sex site is probably not the best place to seek advice on real life issues that affect you and your partner as nobody knows the full story from both sides.
Speaking to your partner is the best option. Regardless of what the outcome is at least you will know from her how she feels and how you can then deal with it.
