So my wife and I have been married for a little over a month. But we haven’t been intimate since two weeks before the wedding. We still kiss, hug, hold hands, say sweet things to each other etc... we just haven’t had intercourse for quite some time.

So now I’m left confused. She says things in my ears and promises. But when it actually comes time to do the act. It’s always “im nauseous”, “ I have a headache”, or “my back hurts”. Now obviously I wouldn’t even think of intercourse if I knew about her ailments. However she only mentions them when I make advances.

This had left me feeling unattractive and hurt. I try and stay confident and keep the romance alive. But it has become difficult to want to do these things when I feel the way I do.
