My boyfriend of almost six months has rejected my advances three times in the last week. I know men have the right to decline, but we usually have some form of sex everyday or every other day. He said he is stressed and not in the mood. I am understanding, but I have end we had him turn down sex, and I have rarely turned down sex. It’s a stress relieve for both of us. I know it’s not enjoyable if he’s not into it. I am worried maybe something is wrong or he’s losing interest in me. |
Why is he stressed? |
Work. |
Suggest going to bed early and waking up a bit early for a quickie. |
Is he cheating and feels too guilty to sleep with you? What kind of work does he do? |
Is he cheating and didn't get a chance to clean up? |
Perhaps he’s depressed. Depression is sometimes mistaken for stress. |
You’ve done less than 6 months of dating. The point of dating is to see how compatible you are with someone. This shouldn’t be so challenging that you’re writing on a parenting site for advice related to your sex life.
Time to move on. |
How old is he? Has he been emotionally distant as well?
If this is how he copes with stress then it’s good to know that now; but it sounds like it hasn’t been the case in the past. This would worry me too, if it goes on much longer - my mind would go to: is he cheating, is he watching too much porn, is he on a new med that is impacting his libido, etc. But I guess I’m wondering if you’re noticing anything else besides the lack of sex that gas you concerned. |
He’s the only one who can answer your questions, OP. |
He must be gay. Remember men are like dogs and never turn down sex. Any woman can get any man at any time. |
Sounds like it's his time of the month! Stressed, moody etc. Give him a few days to recover. Maybe he is tired of sex everyday and just needs a rest. |
Something must be seriously wrong if a guy denies sex.
Because they just NEVER ever do. |
How are things otherwise? Turning down action could be first step toward saying, " you know, maybe this isn't working out ..."
Or it could just be stress, etc. whatever the case, you should know soon. |
Maybe he’s got diarrhea |
