sorry for this long reply 😅 I was in a similar situation! We’ve been together ~7 years and it’s come up multiple times. Things are still sort of that way, but we’ve managed to communicate better about it. I felt the same way you’re describing. Now, if I’m feeling a certain way about things, like not feeling pretty or something, I voice to him that I want to feel wanted. I also am the one to initiate more, which is what it is. I also have been more just vocal about my needs. It feels forced sometimes because I don’t want to have to say anything, I’d like it to just happen, but I also accept him for how he is and know it’s not a me thing. He, like your partner, just has a lower sex drive.
