(Re-posting here as maybe it is a better place to get some advice than in the fat shit our partners do thread)
Not sure where to ask this, as there are no active threads (as in with messages in the last month or so) for discussion of WL by partners at the moment.
My question is: how do you tell your partner you no longer find her attractive? That you still love HER, but you no longer lust after her?
My wife is looking saggy after losing 100 lbs, and she probably is still losing. She is still ok looking, from certain viewpoints, particularly when I don't clearly see the sag (like standing up, her legs don't look a lot thinner, but sitting down, you can really see the fat loss). So I am not grossed out by her naked (yet), but it also REALLY depresses me seeing her nude, cause it makes me confront the loss and potential future loss. Like hurts me to my core.
But I don't know how to tell her that in a nice way. I am frankly surprised she has never asked me about it - I previously was all about feeling her up (so much so that she used to sometimes complain about it) and wanting to see her nude, but I have not done any of that in a couple months. Also, she is a very nosy person - one of the traits I don't like about her - which adds to my wondering why she is not asking, unless she thinks she knows the answer but for some reason (again, she is normally not shy to confront me about things she doesn't like) she does not want to ask.
She told me this morning she was going to take a bath, which previously would have caused me to beat feet to the bathroom. Heck, just hearing the bathwater running would do that. I told her that's fine, and left it at that. She came to tell me that I was confusing since sometimes I complain about her not telling me she was taking a bath (which I have done, but not in several months) but then sometimes I seem to not care (which at this point I do not, as it is a measure of self-preservation so that I don't spiral into depression). What is surprising is that she did not ask the obvious question, namely, why did I no longer want to see her naked (or have any other sexual contact with her). I assume that is coming at some point, but I wonder how others might handle the issue when it is forced.
