I have been married for almost 12 years and my husband is a lovely man. I am 39 and he is 56. But I no longer love him like I should, and I haven't done for some time - a few years I would say. We haven't had sex for 18 months and this has never been discussed - I have been sleeping on the sofa ostensibly because of his snoring. We can go for days bearly exchanging more than a few words, not because we have had a row (we don't do that) just because we have nothing to say to each other, I think. I have a 22 year old daughter from a previous relationship, to whom my husband has been a great Dad. But she left home last week to move in with her boyfriend and I miss her so much. I can see my lift stretching out in front of me with nothing changing and all I want to do is move out of our home and into a little flat and be on my own. I had my daughter when I was only 17 so I have never been 'grown up' and not had her to think about. Financially it is do-able, but how do I tell my husband without hurting him terribly? Or am I being selfish? Help!
