What If I'm No Longer Attracted to My Spouse?
What happens when you still love your partner but no longer feel sexually attracted to them? Loss of desire in long-term relationships can involve pressure, mismatched libido, performance anxiety, pornography, aging, weight changes, resentment, attachment, and sometimes a simple change in attraction that therapy cannot force back into existence.
Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy offers a strong framework for understanding how rejection, pursuit, shame, and emotional safety shape sexual connection. This episode also looks at sexless marriages, affairs, secrecy, aging and attraction, unconventional sexual agreements, and the limits of couples therapy when emotional closeness improves but erotic desire does not.
