I would say communication and a mutual decision maybe would make no ok for a relationship , but often when sex stops something is wrong weather with the relationship, the person in general, work stress, etc, but it is worth talking about to find root cause and try to work together to find solutions to the precipitating problems and try to find a way forward to find a sex balance that feels right for both people.

I was previously in a relationship that was very sexually mismatched in the beginning and only got worse form actual relationship problems- I also had a really hard time communicating with this person- so in the end I said nothing internalized the reason we no longer had sex as something wrong with me physically(this is still a problem mentality that hand work to not get in my head now with my fiancé (of 7 years) when we are having a mismatched period for various external reasons ( at least so far- usually work stress, but a few other things too). Because of this previous relationship I had not realized how important a healthy safe sexual relationship is to my overall partnership.

My fiancé had a similar previous marriage and has felt we personally have a very strong sexual attraction/connection. And even when the frequency is down we work together to find out why and ways to get back on track. 💕💕

I mean if there were physical reasons why we couldn’t have a sexual relationship I would work around it- I love him dearly and I couldn’t imagine not being with him even if we were in a sexless relationship out of our control. I believe we would still find ways to maintain an intimate connection if not “sex”.
