So if he is working a lot he really may just be too tired and the things you are doing would just make him want it less. I know that happened with me and was part of the reason for the break up I went through.
Wishing you the best.

So perhaps I should just give him some time? He's on a temporary sub-contract working up to 70 hrs in a 5 day week. I am also working full time and take care of everything I can for him, all the house work, packing his suit case etc. It's not a role I plan to sustain past this contract, but I know how hard it is for him so I'm trying to take the pressure off.
In some ways I know that although the problem is at his end (regardless of the reason) it is also mainly about how it is making me feel. Constant rejection is hard to take, and I'm not looking for the full commitment of sex if he is tired, but I want to feel wanted. Does that make any sense?
I'm 24 and he's 27. That isn't really a huge age gap?
I don't have any intention of letting our relationship end over this, I would just really like some tools/ideas to help me either solve the problem or just deal with my feelings about it.
