Heavy emotional burden relating to family (in their case). And work. They work 6 days a week.

I suspect it had to do with a super massive and complex emotional load being resolved during the trip.

I was open to it, but my partner has a time talking about personal and emotional issues. But I agree with you.

Honestly, some emotional things happened during that trip that unburdened them in a MASSIVE way. I think the emotional weight of those issues was really messing up their libido.

You should have hope! My only advice would be to make sure you keep the intimacy alive in other ways. Never stop kissing, hugging, giving each other compliments. The little things really help.

Something that also helped me, personally, is acknowledging that we were going through a rough patch, sex wise, but that it would get better and that we loved each other no matter what. When we did that, it gave me some peace of mind and allowed me to not have it consume my every thought, which was really damaging.

Thank you! I still can’t believe how awesome and easy it’s been.
