My Husband Isn't Emotionally Attracted To Me

Our live caller wants to know why her husband isn’t emotionally attracted to her. She explains that her husband “flipped a switch,” “checked out” of their marriage, and had an affair (but has since ended it). Now her husband is home, but she says he’s not emotionally connected to her. He’s physically attracted but not emotionally connected. She says she is willing to forgive her husband, but she isn’t willing to just “stay put.” In her own words, she asks, “I want to continue to work on the marriage, and he’s still here… to me, if he didn’t want to be here, would he leave? Or is he only here for practical reasons?” In response, Dr. Joe Beam says there could be many reasons, but what’s most likely happening is her husband is overcoming limerence. When a person gets into a limerent affair, they experience a strong, intense emotional connection with another person. Chemicals in the brain become overpowering. Because this caller’s husband felt overpowering emotions with another person (while also living at home with his wife) it’s likely that he decided to distance himself. He distanced himself, emotionally, as to not be overwhelmed by guilt. So now that the affair is over, shouldn’t this caller’s husband be reconnected emotionally? Not necessarily. Here’s the thing, emotions from limerence don’t immediately vanish once it ends. Instead, the emotions follow a “mourning period” where a person heals from limerence over time. He will get through it, but it will take time. Because of this, our encouragement to this caller is to continue doing what she’s doing. She CAN build a stronger marriage in the future if they get past this. If she can be there for him through this grief period they can rebuild their emotional connection.
