lost and broken

My heart is so lost and confused. And it shouldn't be this way. I've fallen out of love with my husband. Yes, I still love him but just not in love. How does this happen? Well, maybe it's getting in a routine and forgetting about what matters the most? Everyday life just gets in the way. My heart desires for the affections of this man. Ones that used to be there. I feel like my happiness is slowly fading away. I want so badly to tell him how I feel, but how will he react? Will he say that he feels the same way? Or will he throw in the towel? Am I worth fighting for? 

We have been married three years and together five. It feels like all the excitement and joy has left and now occupied by loneliness and  sorrow. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm the one changing and drifting away. I love this man more than anything in the world and there is nothing I would want to do to hurt him. But I need the affection and attention that I desire. The times I have tried to tell him my needs, I always get, "I'm not good at those kind of things." Yes, yes you are! You've done it before when we first started dating. And then here comes the "I'll try harder next time." Then we are good for a few weeks and it's right back to square one. Why should I have to beg for affection?
