Wife fell out of love?

...See more Hello all. So over the past year I’ve noticed by wife of 11 years has become more distant. About 5 months ago she broke down and told me she wanted a break. I agreed but also told her I wanted to work things out. We ended up trying to patch things up but things just feel different. We have sex less and less now, I can’t remember a compliment from her in the last year, and recently she told me that now that we’re in our 30’s, she thinks she’s better looking than me(and she’s right). I honestly just yearn for her love. I’ve asked her about these issues before but she just says she loves me. I want to talk to her about how all this is making me feel but I don’t want to come off as needy, she gets turned off by that. I feel that her departure is imminent or she’s just forcing herself to stay with me because of our 2 kids. How can I talk to her about this without sounding weak? I don’t want to push her away more.

...See more So we’ve been married for almost 11 years now. We haven’t been living together for the last three months, but that’s due to my current job. Shes staying with her parents and our two kids while I I’m living alone in another city. We see each other every weekend but our relationship does feel like it has become more stale over the last year. We hardly do couple’s things, just focus on the kids. Recently she broke down and told me she wasn’t happy and wants to separate. She said she thinks we’re both unhappy but just staying together because we’re used to it. I’ve been feeling that she’s just not attracted to me anymore. I usually initiate all contact(kissing, etc.). I kept my composure in front of her but broke down inside. She said she wants to try to work things out but I just feel on the inside that she’s done. Now I’m back in my apartment alone, and I feel such terrible despair and loneliness! It’s so hard for me to do anything now. Everywhere I go I see constant reminders of her. I was committed for life, I don’t know why she doesn’t want me anymore. I don’t know how I could go on with out her. Thanks for any support.
