Hey all,
     This is my first time ever using a site like this or asking strangers for help but I need advice from a non-involved outsider. My husband and I have been together 3.5 yrs. he went on deployment last year and we had quite a few problems. He acted like it was a chore to talk to me and as a result I shut off my emotions towards him so as to not feel pain for the remainder of deployment. Well, he's back and has been for 7 months and things still aren't the same. I don't feel sexually attracted to him. He's bent over backwards trying to fix things. Our relationship is wonderful minus the sex aspect. Crummy part is that I know thats a major part and he's starting to become impatient waiting for me to figure things out. I wanted sex like crazy yesterday but when I got home to him, the desire faded fast. I think I may have friend-zoned him and can't bring him out of it. He's like my best friend and I love him dearly so the thought of losing him is hard. I just don't want to keep hurting him. What should I do? Will that attraction ever come back or is there a way to make it? Please help!

I have that same problem too. I conclude that my lack of physical attraction is directly related to our lack of emotional attachment. All we talk about is his work, house stuff, kid stuff and everyone else's issues (not our own) - then before lOng he is accusing me of withdrawing from him - which then makes me want to withdraw (it's a vicious circle for me)
When we are emotionally connected - it's great - even though I rarely have an organism with him (that's a whole other story)

You are so right about emotional and physical closeness being tied together.  It is hard to be romantic and resentful at the same time!
