[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience the lack of sex was symptomatic of other issues and it all came to a head eventually.  I couldn’t just live without sex, and I am a woman.  Marriage counseling helped a lot.  Don’t give up.[/quote]

I agree it’s likely to be a broader symptom of something else. I have little desire for sex these days.  It’s hard to feel attracted to my husband when I am serving as both the main breadwinner and the main caregiver to our children, and my husband refuses to compromise about doing unpaid volunteer activities that take up his entire weekends 7-8 times a year.  I can only do so much and I constantly feel overwhelmed and overloaded.  He is all about having fun and doesn’t give any attention to the “hard stuff” in life - pushing for raises, saving for retirement/college, saving in general.  I often feel like the only adult in the relationship so it’s hard to feel attracted to him.

I don’t know how to spell this out to him without hurting his feelings but he really doesn’t not seem to get it.  [/quote]
