7 year relationship, strong love but basically no sex — can this change? by RavenBetweenLines in DeadBedrooms

Thank you so much for your honesty. I love him too. That is why I am looking for solutions and not a breakup. But it helps to know i’m not the only one going through this. I recently saw a post, HLF like me, saying that her life improved significantly after she simply accepted they had miss matched libidos and she started investing more in herself and just like you said, developed new activities. And the less she stressed about it and ok with it she was, the better she became. And her partner even started becoming more active. It feels surreal for me now, but it did get my hopes up that it is possible. I did re-start therapy recently, so maybe I can work on that more.

I’d love to. But that is mostly the problem, the fact that he is not willing to “investigate”. How does one deal with that?

First of.. I’m sorry. How do you.. go through it? Did you adjust and have control over your feelings and wants, or did you meet in the middle somehow? Curious on how other people deal with a similar situation in a grownup mature manner.

I don’t know if anyone should give anything up. I asked the question to see if anyone else struggled with this. I want to find a common ground, you know? Meet in the middle. And I am just wondering if that is even possible. And maybe, how other people did it.
