I've been married 4.5 years, we never have sex (well maybe once a month) we don't talk. we don't really hang out. I don't think I'm attricted to him any more, and I don't remember what I was attricted to in the first place. I think I'm traped and yet I'm comfortable and he keeps a roof over my head. but I'm starting to think thats not enough. I want to be loved and happy. I don't remember how to do that. sorry if this is stupid. any advice would be welcomed! thanks for reading.

Ask him out on a date. Talk to him and feel free to act like you're not married. You might not find what it was you were attracted to in the first place but maybe you'll find something else. Act like you're starting over and have all those introductory conversations "What's your favorite color?" "What do you want to be doing in 5 years?"

Just because you guys have been together for a while now doesn't mean that things like this won't work. Try new things in your sex life - experiment to see what brings some excitement. If you habitually get intimate with lights on/off, maybe try a couple candles around the room. Sure it might sound cheesey but it's new.

Routine is the brain's enemy, stir things up!

Try some counseling first. Maybe you can find what brought yourselves together originally.
