Ask Ann Cannon: My husband has traveled and worked odd hours for years, and I no longer feel connected to him. Now what?

Dear Ann Cannon • I have been married nearly two decades. My husband’s job requires him to travel alone for long periods of time and for our family to move a lot. When he is working locally, his hours are weird and inconvenient for family time. I have been mom AND dad for years. There has never been infidelity on either of our parts, but I find myself no longer connected to this marriage. The old song “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” feels like my current situation.

My husband still loves me. He still wants us to be together, but doing things together is not on his priority list.
