My fiancé admitted he has never been physically attracted to me. He says he loves me deeply and sees a future with me, but that ‘physical attraction just isn’t a big deal to him.
We’ve been together for three years, and he proposed six months ago. I thought we were happy. But last night, after a deep conversation, my fiancé admitted that he has never been physically attracted to me. He told me he loves me deeply, respects me, and truly believes I’m the person he wants to spend his life with—but he just doesn’t feel that physical spark. He reassured me that physical attraction isn’t what makes a marriage last and that our emotional connection is what really matters. I feel like I just got punched in the gut. I always assumed there was at least some attraction, but now I don’t know what to think.
Am I overreacting? Does this even matter in the long run? Or am I setting myself up for disaster by marrying someone who doesn’t desire me in that way? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
