    Sometimes you just have to fake it until you make it, OP. What I've found in the past is that the longer I go without sex the less in the mood I get. Doing it more frequently (even if I don't think I'm in the mood at first) makes me want it more frequently.

    Yeah.....we have issues. :ohwell: I've tried to talk to him about it, telling him with my self esteem issues I don't feel wanted or attractive & he gets defensive & it goes nowhere.

    He don't wanna hear dat! He wants you to pull his pants down and get busy :bigsmile:

    Pretend you have self esteem. Then maybe you will acquire it.

    I have such a fear of rejection. I just can't. I know I shouldn't feel that way but he chooses to avoid me so it's hard to suck it up & go for it.

    Jump his bones girlfriend...I'm sure he would love it if you did!

    I haven't gotten any in months.



    But my husband is in another state. I can't imagine willingly going that long willingly/for any reason aside from distance/general inability to have sex. Like I have a date book and I am literally counting down the days til he's home. I've made sure my schedule was cleared for a week after, I've got all the take out menus lined up by the phone, and the frig will be stocked. I've got an outfit picked out, got my hair done, got a wax appointment set up, and I'm looking for a nice new pair of heels.

    No one is leaving the apartment for-

    ...wait. What was the question?

    You sound like me when my husband is on patrol. :laugh:

    Funnily enough my husband is also in the Navy. He's been gone since March (first separation) and I'm so over the whole thing. Is it the end of July yet?

    The good part of it is that when he's there it's always the honeymoon period. Hang in there, you're most of the way through already.

    Yeah. I just feel like these last couple of weeks are actual literal torture.

    But. You're right, it's very nearly over. Thankfully.

    After 13 years, 2 small kids, depends on how tired we are. So we can do nothing for a month other than sleep, or have sex about 3-4 times a week. daily in the first year lol

    I think it depends on the couple; everyone is different. I do think the libidos have to match for it to work.
    My husband and I have been married 9 years this coming October (together for 12, friends for 18 years). Before our son, we were having sex 3-4x a week and now it is 2x a week and we're good with that.

    I had a friend who literally wanted it monthly and her husband wanted it 3x a day. They aren't together anymore; it caused a major rift. This is why I saw you gotta match your partner.

    The only married couple I know of who stopped having sex, got divorced because they weren't meant to be together.

    yes.

    What? just being honest here!
  • I've always felt normal is whatever works for your relationship. If it's interfering with your happiness then it's not normal.. if you're still happy and content in your relationship without feeling like something's missing then your sex life is normal, regardless of how frequently you do it.

    Maybe 10 times in the past 3 months...our first 3 months of marriage! Here's to hoping it gets better!

    Ugh...just celebrated my 20th anniversary (okay, so there was no celebration and all and barely any acknowledgement) and for the past few years he has had NO sex drive while mine has gone through the roof. I take that back - he has a sex drive, he's just not interested in *me*. We've had dry spells of 3+ years at one point. Correctly working on one of 6+ months. I've moved on...

    I really think it depends on the stage and the relationship. I do think the longer you go without the easier it is to say you don't want it. We've been married 10 years. DH and I have gone 1 year without sex. After the birth of my third child, and he had some issues, and our relationship tanked, and then we had issues, and so there was no sex.

    We are working on things again, and I find I NEED it! So for about the last six months we've been having it about 5 times a week. He often wakes me in the middle of the night. And it's good too! And the more we do it the better our relationship is. Imagine that!!!

    I am totally the odd ball here! My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and it varies for us. We have gone a month without it. Then other times we've done it three times in one day. Other times it's once per week. Just totally depends. We both have a pretty low sex drive, so when we only did it once per month, it didn't bother either of us. Lol
