[quote=Anonymous]Perennial topic, I know, but I need a place to vent.

This is gradually killing me.  Over the last 5 years we’ve gone from occasional, to infrequent, to constant rejection when I get up the nerve to try.  She’s not mean or uncaring, but makes anything more than a peck on the lips or chaste hug feel like an imposition.  Even casual physical affection (holding hands, playful grabbing, whatever) is pretty much gone.

We’ve been together a long time. We used to have an active, enjoyable sex life, and not just in the first few honeymoon years, so this is hard.  She’s not cheating - I say this only because she doesn’t have time - and I’m not interested in cheating (wouldn’t know where to start anyway).  The one time I tried to have a conversation about this, she shrugged it off and said something that boiled down to “this is who I am now, we’re not kids anymore, deal with it.”  I’m not sure I can.

I guess another attempt at discussing it is the next step. Then maybe suggest counseling. I don’t have high hopes for either.
