She confided in me because I have been there. I married my high school sweetheart who was a great guy, but I was never attracted to him. I should have never committed to him but I was too immature to speak up. I finally left after 5 years of marriage. It was the best decision I EVER made for myself.
I am now married to an equally amazing guy but DH is really attractive to me. It keeps the spark alive and that is important to a marriage.
Mickeyistheman, do not settle down with this guy. Years into the marriage you will find yourself attracted to someone else. We are sexual creatures and it's not something you can talk yourself out of. There are so many guys out there who are great men & fatheres and attractive. Wait it out. I did and it's worth it.
MELSMICE, her DH is attractive, just not my type.
So does she tell him the real reason? I'm thinking she needs to talk to a therapist (not her pastor, no offense) and really get her feelings out in the open. Like y'all said, it's probably deeper than we think.
