[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the problem is that sex for you is a means of validating your attractiveness, so when your husband doesn't initiate, you feel unattractive and unappreciated. But you knew going in that he had a low drive--now you're reading all this other stuff into it. It's like marrying someone who speaks a different language and then later deciding that the fact that his English isn't perfect means he doesn't really love you. Why do you want more sex? If you want affirmation that he loves you, then ask for that, and be open to the idea that it can come in different forms. If you want more physical affection, perhaps you can ask for that, again in other forms. If you want the physical release, then perhaps you need to find other ways to achieve that. Because the short answer to the question in your heading is--maybe. Some couples with different drives do work it out, but it requires patience, understanding, compromise, and a sense of humor.
