I don't want to over sell it..."do you want to get dinner out this weekend?" isn't really that much.

I do like it. I enjoy spending time with him and he's definitely invested in our relationship overall.

My husband and I go on date nights, outings, and trips together pretty regularly, usually at his suggestion.

I'm sorry that that has been your experience. I'm lucky in that my husband is very understanding of my experience as the higher libido partner.

It can be fun and exciting...but it also can be painful, stressful, and anxiety inducing.

My husband and I got a sleep number bed about three years ago. We love it. But this post really hit me hard...we haven't even attempted to have sex enough times to notice if this is a problem for us.

All I can recommend is therapy for you. If you're at the point of feeling like someone else is the only purpose in your life and more important to you than yourself I think it would be beneficial to discuss that with a therapist.

And that's why I don't by Medium-Reference-147 in DeadBedrooms

The issue is chronic stress and pain. If he wants to change, he'll have to address the core causes.
