I'm sure I'm not the only one postin here. Me 41 yr old mom of three. Hubby 44 yr ols hard working, takes care of the family, and just a very nice nice guy. Problem is we have not had sex in 3.5yrs. My dilema is he is everything in a partner but he doesn't seem to think us not having sex is a problem. He said that sex is over rated. He works hard and I do too but I need intimacy. One part of me feels like I do not want to leave him because of just that. But I have mentioned it to him time and time again and he kind of just blows it off. So ladies what do I do??

I dont really have an answer :(



I am in my 20s and my hubby is in his 30s. In the last year or so, sex occurs once every month to every other month.



Its not the lack of sex that bothers me most, its the intimacy I lack. I dont even get touched anymore. I get a peck at night and a peck in the morning when hes off to work (peck- light kiss). I am a stay at home mom and I do work hard, but I do understand my hubby works alot harder than I do.



Its sad, but this happens to lots of couples. Good luck hun!

If anyone would like any advice to get things going better in the bedroom, plz feel free to send me a message. This is one subject I am very educated in, both profesionally and personally.
I've tried to get the OP to message me so I could help, but havent heard anything yet, I would truly love a chance to help you.
Jessica, I would love for you to message me if you would like some help bringing back the intimacy into your relationship.
The same goes for any women who come across this, feel free to message me and we can work to bring the fun back into the bedroom and figure out what issues are hindering that oh so important part of your life and relationship.

Good question. I am 21 and my bf of four years is 28. He has no interest in a physical relationship and I find it so difficult. I found out I was pregnant on August 22, 2010 and I gave birth to our daughter October 27, 2010. I wasn't aware I was pregnant. We had only had sex one time that year and it was when our daughter was conceived. Since then (she is now almost four months) we have not been intimate at all. I am sorry. I wish I had the answer. It just sucks!

I would definitely advise counseling, it sounds like something may not be right, maybe a medication he started taking around 4 years ago? I'm sorry, I know that part in a relationship is very special to us women. Good luck..

Thank you for all of the advice. I have done all of what everyone has suggested. And nothing. So I started making myself think maybe sex isnt important, but I was lying to myself. Im a sexual person and I would be fooling myself if I tried to belive otherwise. Bottom line is he is content not having sex and Im not content. Like I mentioned I love everything else about him but we have no love life.

if he really isnt into the idea of sex, start with cuddles and kissing time. aim to have a cuddle and kiss for an hour a day, and work from there. :)

I do not think ULTIMATUMS are a great idea. Maybe getting away and just talking without the expectations of anything.

I am a 28 year old mom of 1. I am married to the love of my life who has a mental conditon that causes him to have the same type of issues with intamcy. I have also given him altamatames. This will one cause more problems! I have also, told him that I will go and find it else where and that caused a lot off problems. So that left me two choices
1.) Seek counceling ( which is is helping slowly0
2.) Pleasing yourself (by any means possible)

3.5 years?.. thats a long time. I think you guys should maybe take a romantic weekend get away for something to "reconnect" maybe even have a few drinks together that usually gets people talkin.. then can lead to other things ;) lol... or maybe i wonder he has a phycial problem that hes embarrassed to talk about?
