    This is a difficult situation to be in. I agree with ShortButSweet - honesty is the best way forward, but I appreciate that it isn't always possible.

    For me, it's been slightly different. I became disinterested in sex before I started questioning, due to other relationship issues. When I started questioning, sex with my (opposite-sex) partner initially improved because I fantasized about women. That lasted for a few months, and since then I've not enjoyed it. This might be TMI (sorry), but I find kissing worse than sex itself, as I can't think about other things whilst kissing. Also, I've never been attracted to him in that sense, so not much has changed really.

    I hope you're able to find a way to discuss this with your wife.

    Sorry you're feeling down. Do you want to talk/post about it?

    Think I'm just having an off day/wobble and I'm super tired. Things are starting to sink in plus my husband keeps asking to come home and that we can work it out. I feel so guilty.

    I can understand why you feel that way. I'm sure that in the long-term this will be the best thing for both of you, which probably doesn't help much right now.

    Do you feel that he'll be able to accept it with time? I hope things get better for you both.
