Husband fallen out of love

Hi all, after 20 years together/ 15 married my husband has told me he loves me but is not 'in love' with me.. I am absolutely heart broken. I knew we were going thru a rough patch but didn't think it was gonna come to this.
We have 3 children, 1 left home and 2 teenagers.
He moved out of family home 3 weeks ago and is trying to sort his head out. He comes with a lot of family emotional baggage. - death of father, horrible mother, draining siblings etc.
We have also had financial difficulties over the years on myhalf and this has definitely contributed to his feelings.
What do I do now? Who has been thru similar situation, how did it work out for you. My head is just a huge mess
TIA

I loved my ex husband but wasn’t ‘in love with him’ I left. The connection was lost between us for lots of reasons and had been that way for a long time.

Relationship counseling is the best course to take if he is willing to work on this. But he needs to work on himself before he can work on you both.

I’m sorry that’s not much help, and I hope your situation can be resolved. I imagine my ex felt like you did when I said the same thing to him..... trouble was he didn’t care enough to try and when he wanted to it was to late for us.

Good luck
