“I married someone who felt more like a friend.”
What Actually Happened
I married my husband but our connection feels more like siblings and our intimate life is rare. I feel like I'm the problem because I'm not attracted to him and find myself seeking attention from other men.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had understood the difference between deep friendship and romantic love before getting married."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
