“I don't feel anything for my husband anymore”
What could be going on
Resentment: Unspoken grievances can quietly kill feeling; check what you've stopped saying to him.
Negative sentiment override: Fits if even his neutral acts now irritate you; check whether it used to be different.
Major depression: Check whether you've lost feeling for many things, not just him, along with sleep or energy changes.
Emotional numbing: Fits if you're numb across life, perhaps after stress, loss or trauma.
Hedonic adaptation: Some fading of excitement is normal; check whether you still share new experiences.
Ambivalence: Fits if part of you wants out and part wants to stay, cancelling each other out.
Questions to carry
- Thinking back, when was the last moment I felt something for him, and what happened soon after?
- What was the last thing I wanted from him and stopped asking for?
