I’m with my partner for eight years, but don’t fancy him

¦ I have been with my partner for eight years but my problem is that I don’t fancy him.

I know this is a common problem for couples but in my case I’m not sure that I ever did.

I think I liked him and convinced myself that I was attracted to him sexually, but we never had that period of passion that you’re supposed to, so we’ve got nothing to return to. Now our sex life has dwindled to almost nothing and when we do have sex it seems like a chore.
