[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a woman and I totally get you, OP.  I'm currently in the opposite situation:  My boyfriend of 9 years has stopped complimenting me, stopped acknowledging when I've put in effort, never asks for pics anymore, even though I continue to bring it effort-wise.  But, sadly, his declining interest kicks off a downward spiral that might be the death of this relationship.  His compliments made me feel sexy, which inspired me to make the effort (on my appearance and in bed), and without them now, I feel defeatist and resentful, like why bother, he won't appreciate it.  But the sex and chemistry was our glue.  I've tried explaining this to him, to no avail.

(And to the people who will inevitably gloat about choosing their partner based on more than chemistry -- I had that in my previous, sexless marriage.  No, thanks.  I'd still prefer a series of 10-yr relationships that burn hot.  I just don't know why he stopped "seeing" me.)[/quote]

I think most men are serial monogamists or poly. They won't be that aroused in 10 years by the same women unless he's in he's in his 60s and literally there is no other woman to wait for. [/quote]
