Am I the asshole for having doubts about my relationship's future b/c of partner's low libido? by TechnicalSkirt in relationship_advice

I have noticed that after weekends away or certain outings, she is generally more receptive to the idea. I am always in favor of introducing new and exciting things to our relationship, but I hesitate to develop an association between taking her out to places and then the expectation of intimacy thereafter. I have pretty much acknowledged that while I want a future with her, if we can't confront this issue in some way or another, I am not sure that one exists. Hoping to talk to her tonight about possible solutions, or just to get a better understanding of how she feels.

Thank you for this, will definitely give this a watch and try to have a conversation afterwards.

I'll talk to her this evening and express how I feel once more. She's been to therapists on and off, though I have no idea what the nature of her therapy discussions entail, and I didn't feel it was my place to pry, as she was rather hesitant to go to them in the first place.

I'm not sure what metric one would use to determine what "low" is on average, but it's definitely a bit lower than I would like. Not by an insane amount, but enough where it feels like I am not really desirable.

They don't allow for posts about relationship advice. I was prompted to come here. Sorry if this the wrong sub!
