That sounds really difficult! Unfortunately, I've seen a lot of couples where one of them feels totally "alone" in the relationship. When there are problems with intimacy, they can build over time and start to come out in all sorts of ways - including for some, porn addictions and infidelity. Has there ever been a time when didn't feel alone in the marriage? Do you remember when you met, what the early time was like? I often find that if struggling couples can remember a time in their relationship when theY had what is now missing, that can be a point to rebuild on. However, both parties need to be interested and willing to work on it. If your husband has been "checked out" for a long time and it looks like he's not interested in checking in, it might be time for you to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF and consider leaving the relationship. Remeber - you DESERVE to have a loving, supportive and connected relationship. Good luck!
