Question by james: Dealing with Mis-matched sex drives?
My fiancĂ© and I are going through a hard time. Since the birth of our son 3 years ago her sex drive has fallen off to nothing. Me being a 23 year old male, mine is more then ok. It is causing arguments and pushing us away from each other. We separated for over a year and maintained a good relationship( with no sex, or anything physical more then a hug) upon getting back together we made love a few times and it was magnificent. Lately it doesn’t exist. It’s happens 6 times in the past 3 months. I have tried to explain my desire and its what I need emotionally to feel wanted, needed, appreciated and loved but she does not seem to care. She says being with me should be proof enough that she loves me. I try taking care of myself before going to bed to lessen my desire but one look at my beautiful baby and I’m ready and wanting it again. I don’t want to cheat, never ever would but this is hurting us. Is there something I can do to try and lower my drive to try and match hers or raise bees to mine. Please help, I don’t want to lose my family!
** I do romance her, often! She gets flowers all the time, no occasion, just because. Just little things here and there, jewelry and anything I can do to put a smile on her face. I know thats all material and doesn’t matter and she is the least materialistic person I know but I still love doing things for her. I take care of our son all the time. I do all the cooking when I’m home. Take care of all the bills. Make sure car is full of gas the night before she has to work. Bring her coffee in bed, rub her back, feet, and everything. We kiss hug hold hands cuddle all the time. I’m strong for her. I am supportive. I encourage her comfort her. I try my hardest to make sure she has no needs that go unattended. Being a fireman I am in decent shape and take care of myself. It keeps me from being home for 24-48 hrs at a time all making the nights I’m home more special.. I show leadership and am a man for her. I do all this for her with no intension of getting rewarded with sex.
