Are you sexually satisfied in your relationship? Or relationships? I've been having issues with this for awhile now and I'm just trying to understand what is happening or if things will be like this forever. My husband and I have been married for a little over 4 years now. Most of the time I feel like he is not attracted to me anymore but he denies it. I feel like I have a relatively normal sex drive but his is non existent. He uses the excuse of being tired all the time. He never comes on to me anymore and most of the time I'm rejected with some excuse about the timing or he's tired. I've even talked with him about my need for affection and just physical intimacy but nothing has really changed. Also when things do happen sexual, he finishes and then I'm pretty much left to finish myself. He has fallen asleep on me sever times after while he's supposed to be helping me. He just says all the time it's because we are getting older and this is what happens in relationships, but I refuse to accept that. He's only 24 and I'm 26. I don't consider that old. Definitely not old enough for the sexual intimacy to have died in my relationship. I feel dread when I think about it being this way for the rest of my life. He won't be in an open or poly relationship either, we have talked about this. I love him so much but this part of our relationship is really affected. It affects me mentally because I'm not getting much sexual intimacy or physical intimacy from him. There is also a lack of emotional intimacy as well. He is not very open emotionally with me or anyone. Im having a very hard time even understanding our relationship anymore. So I just wanted to know how others relationships are going as far as sexual satisfaction after awhile of being together. Is there still intensity for one another or does it always dwindle? I understand having different sex drives but what do you do when a partners sex drive has disappeared just about or they don't seem that interested in you that way even though they voice otherwise?
