Is it normal to be less attracted to your partner?

Depends.It depends

Yes, attraction to a partner can dip over time, and it doesn’t automatically mean the relationship is over. If the change is persistent or bothering you, it may help to talk about what’s changed between you.

Attraction isn’t a constant setting. Stress, routine, feeling disconnected, unresolved arguments, or changes in your own life can all make you feel less drawn to your partner for a while. Lots of couples go through phases like this, even when they still care deeply about each other.

What matters is whether it feels like a passing dip or part of a bigger pattern you want to address. You don’t have to force attraction, but an honest, kind conversation about closeness, affection, or what you’ve been missing can be a good place to start. Try to talk about your experience without turning it into a verdict on your partner’s worth or appearance.
