[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH does not see himself that way.  He always attributes the low freq to various stresses or situations that change.  But he is the constant.  A therapist told me that I may need to accept that DH is low desire in order to stay in the marriage.  I do.[/quote]

If you were to tell him flat-out (or if you have already said this) "I need more sex and affection to be happy in a marriage and I feel like I have tried everything I can think of to help you have more desire for sex. At this point, I am accepting that you are giving me the most you can. I cannot continue in a marriage at this level of sexual activity. Please help me decide what to do next.". What would he say?[/quote]

Full medical checkup -- no problems.  Like PP's DH mine will not accommodate me in any alternative fashion.  I could never say that I cannot continue in our marriage because I must and will.  I can't even imagine how hurt he would be if I intimated that I were thinking of divorce.  I know it works for many people but it's not an option for me unless there is an affair.[/quote]

I'm having trouble understanding why you are more concerned about his hurt if you brought up leaving him when he seems to have been unwilling to make an effort to deal with your hurt over the lack of intimacy. Can you explain further?[/quote]
