My problem is, my partner and i have not had sex for nearly 6 months she is under a lot of pressure from work and with ill parents. I understand that this is what has caused the sex to stop and i can cope with that, what i cannot cope with is the total lack of emotion i get from her, it has been fading for the past 6 months. We have talked about it and everytime we talk we always talk about splitting up, i dont want to do that but i dont know whether i can go much longer feeling so unloved. i guess my question is to people do i carry on and ride out the storm or do i finish it?

 People go through tough times. You both are going through tough times now, but you apparently have all those years invested and will only lose if it ends. In my opinion, both "superbunny" and "Jen86" provided excellent insight. As Jen said, support your partner if you honestly believe that her lack of attention is only due to family and work troubles. But on the other hand, something else may be going on - just be attuned to the possibility. As a much older man who has been around the block several times, I can assure you that women can reverse direction on a dime and leave you standing there dumfounded. Be on guard.

 I think you'll just have to support her for now, sweetie. You can't ditch her after ten years just because things are a little tough!
Just try to make her feel loved and special, even if there's no reciprocation, because in the long run, she'll thank you for it. =]
