[quote=Anonymous]I've mentioned this to my DH multiple times.

He *rarely* initiates intimacy with me. I honestly can't remember the last time. We are intimate 1-3x/week and for a very long time all I can remember is me initiating it. We've had this long-standing tradition of going on Sunday dates resulting in him "receiving", and I enjoy it but I seriously wish he would put forth more effort now and then.

If I don't initiate it, he might initiate once per week but even then it's a little lackluster effort. For the record I am pregnant but nothing has changed in regards to my desire or ability to be intimate.

When I talk to him about it he says for the most part he's tired, which is true. He gets up at 4AM and sometimes will fall asleep on the couch at 7PM. I'm a little concerned in general about his energy levels because we have a baby on the way. We made a goal to try it in the mornings, which really did not work between bad breath (not sure how people do this). HIS complaint is that I always need to be clean, which is true, I generally prefer to have showered recently. He has also brushed it off saying he has "low T."

For the record I don't suspect an affair, there's no suspicious absences or lateness, changes in behavior.

We started dating when I was 24 and he was 30. We had earth-shattering, multiple rounds, stay up all night type of intimacy. 5 years later it's not at all how it used to be when we first started dating.

Is this common in marriages?
