My husband tries to be intimate but i keep pushing him away lately. I feel terrible because he is a great husband, but i just don't feel like having sex with him.I just told him how i felt. Now he is ignoring me and won't talk about it. What should i do?

This is a serious question and dilemma. Apparantly you love your husband, but something has driven the sexual urge from you. I might check with the doctor, an OBGYN, and also a psychologist.

It's good that you tried to talk to your husband; and it's understandable that he doesn't want to talk about it. He is frightened, he doesn't know where this may lead--is it the end of the marriage?; do you have a lover? There must be many questions racing through his mind--and he really doesn't want to hear the answers.

My first impulse is always to keep the family or marriage together. I would go to a marriage counselor too; even if you must go alone. Eventually, your husband may come too.

You might also think about making love to your husband even though you are not drawn to it. Sometimes the act itself can bring back those old feelings of passion. And, remember making love with your husband doesn't always have to produce fireworks. Sometimes you can just make love for love's sake.
