Has anyone lost attraction to their partner for no apparent reason?

...See more Hello, I (29) have been dating my boyfriend (27) for just over 2 years now and about 6-7 months ago I lost attraction for him. Some back story; I went off birth control around that time and I also had to get my breast implants removed due to a complication; so many body and hormonal changes took place. It has been a long few months and get weirded out when he wants to get intimate as if I see him as my friend only. We have not had any sexual relations for many months now as I have no attraction to him. To note: my boyfriend is the best, kind, geniune, caring, smart, good career, healthy, very fit, is my best friend and my safe place where I can totally be myself. He never makes me feel insecure and I know I can trust him, he is honestly majority of what any girl could ask for as to why this is so hard.To be clear I do have sexual desires but just not towards him anymore and to random made up men in my mind or on tv. I know in the begining I was attracted to him though I know I have been more attracted to other men more in the past. Though me thinking that I am attracted to men that arent necessarily good for me. I didnt really like the way he kissed, he has trouble communicating and isnt good with emotions as he grew up in a very European houshold and has not had alot of sexual experience so physical things have always been a bit stiff but I was still attracted... I was just wondering if this has ever happened to someone as they were able to be attracted to there partner again? We have talked and since it has been so long we are coming to that facts that since I am not attracted to be better off as friends. I do not want to regret breaking up just to end up with someone who I am attracted to that is not as wonderful as he is if that makes sense. Any insight would help, thanks
