writes:My husband and I decided to go to therapy to deal with out communication issues and when we discussed our non-existent sex life it came out that he is no longer attracted to me. When we met I was about 15 pounds lighter but that was seven years ago before professional school, work, and a baby. In the mean time he stopped working out and has gotten flabby with an old man's ass to boot but without nary a word from me. He said he is very much in love with me and wants our marriage to work but he's not attracted to my body the way it is. Can he really love me and when I do lose weight how can I feel comfortable enough to have sex with him.

Well did you say that he is hardly a gym freak either? Or was this another failure to communicate?
Why not get fit together? Take up something like cycling, dancing, fencing, something that will tone you both up and get you out together doing stuff.
It'll be much easier losing weight if you can cheer each other on.
I don't know if losing a few pounds will save your marriage but spending time together and trying something new together might give it a bit of a shot in the arm. Give it a try!
Good Luck!! xx
