[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a 7-year dead bedroom due to issues on both sides: depression, weight gain, ED, infertility and job/money stresses. Once we started finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel and the issues resolved we slowly found our way back. We have always been best friends and committed to each other, so it was a phase we had to weather through. We’re not swinging from the chandeliers or anything, but we’re both satisfied.[/quote]

This is encouraging, I feel like DH and I are in this situation. There are no issues with our marriage -- we are committed, we like spending time together, we are still attracted to each other, etc. But we have just never returned to regular sex after having kids. It's like a few times a year, and our youngest is 8. There have been some random resurgences for for short periods of time (like a week or two of regular sex and then back to our usual schedule of no sex for months on end).

The cause is just stress, schedule, some physical and mental health issues (I've had surgery three times in three years -- dealing with the pain prior to surgery and then recovery from surgery is a huge sex life killer, it takes months, and then to go through it and find out 6 months later you need a different surgery for a different problem really sucks). It's a relief to hear others deal with this and find their way back. DH and I are in it for the long haul and glad for it, but we do sometimes wonder if we'll ever be able to have an active sex life again.[/quote]
