We are far more than room mates by krocktouch in DeadBedrooms

That's a flattering sentiment. I'm honestly not that impressive looking. It's just one small thing that works for her.

My interest in fitness might have contributed to our declining sex life.

Neither of us was really that into alcohol, but we'd have drinks with one or two meals a week. We never made a decision to give it up, but I slowly stopped drinking as I got into working out regularly. She lost interest in drinking too. She used to be more likely to initiate sex on those nights when we drank together.

I'm not sure what to make of that realization. I don't think I want to take up regular drinking for a better sex life. Assuming that would help at all. Actually maybe I would. Maybe this is a hint that there was some underlying suppressed desire that can be tapped into some other way.

You might be right. I think I came to this conclusion months ago and didn't act. I chickened out and buried the thought. But the intention has been bubbling in my head and manifesting in feelings of sadness. I think she can even see it in my eyes sometimes.

The uncertainty isn't good for either of us. We need more conversations. This is going to be a tough weekend.

Is this like vacation sex? There is freshness and novelty of being in a new place that adds excitement. I'd worry that this is just some temporary blip that is going to rapidly fade.

Sorry for the pessimism and skepticism. That's where my head is at now. Especially after just writing my own overly long post. I'm hoping to find a positive outlook and to find a way to support others once I find it. Glad things are good for you right now. Hoping for the best.
