[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is the most common of problems.  I want to have better and more frequent sex and intimacy, she wants to be left alone.  We used to schedule once a week, or so (worked out to 2-3x a month) but most of the time she clearly would have preferred to be left alone.

So after years of this dynamic, I have backed off.  Going on 4 months, no sex.  At first, it really, really sucked but now I really don't miss sex with her.  Definitely less resentment, ironically.  [b]She has mentioned about scheduling it again[/b], but I am skeptical this is anything but her feeling guilty about not doing something I used to push for.

Question - do women regain libido if they are left alone for a while?  Meaning, can desire rebuild over time?  Anyone successfully used a long sex break as a positive step?[/quote]

I kind of feel like you answered your own question in your post.  You backed off, and she came back asking to have sex again.  The fact that you might not want to is not a great sign for the longevity of your marriage - if you take turns rejecting the other like this I'm not sure how it can be healthy - but you asked if backing off and giving space would make her come back and want sex again and ... it already did?[/quote]
