Spark gone and feeling lost
      02/06/2009 21:16

I've been with my husband for 8 years, married for 4 and have a beautiful 1 year old daughter. I was his first serious girlfriend whereas I had been in a few serious relationships which resulted in me having had a varied and enjoyable sexlife and him, pretty standard.

8 years on and particularly since the birth of my daughter the spark has completely gone. He's a great dad and I love him, but he just doesn't make the effort (shaving, looks, clothes etc) and I just don't fancy him anymore. We've probably had sex once in 12 months and if it wasn't for battery operated devices I think I'd go insane!

So what to do. Accept the fact that this is my lot? I know people will say to talk to him but I know it will go in one ear and out of the other and how do you tell someone that you've been with so long that sex (when it happens) is poor? There is a part of me that is really tempted to get together with a married colleague who I know is inerested purely to satisfy these needs.

I know this will get frowned upon, but I haven't strayed yet (and never have) and just need something to make me feel sexy, wanted and desired again. Please help
