Who Cares If It Turns Out Right?

Everyday_change_50x50
Unless you're building a skyscraper or fixing a brain, there's room for error in your work. Sometimes, not forcing greatness/perfection leads to bigger and better ideas. So let go of whether a project is "right," and just let it be what it'll be.

Answer:

Does your husband take medication? sometimes medication will cause this..I would have a serious discussion with my husband about this..First you need to find out if he is happy,then if it is a medical problem,if so he needs to speak with his doctor about other types of meds that does not cause him to have a low sex drive...I do know that low sex drive can be helped by medication,and if you talk with your husband & let him know that you are not happy,he will need to want to make some changes....No sex life is not good for a marriage...

Answer:

I would just ask him to write down his feelings about it. Then let you read them and write down your own. It's a good way for each of you to say exactly what you want to say and it's less hostile than a conversation.
Good luck!

Possibly even an health issue.

Answer:

Was it like this before you married? Has anything changed (job loss, death in the family, stress) that could make him turned off?

We always think that men are totally ready for sex at all times, but there is a mind-body connection for them too. Perhaps there's something scaring him.

This is a hard question to ask, but...is there any possibility at all that he might be gay or questioning his sexuality? I hope that doesn't offend you. It's just something to think about.

Keep encouraging your husband to talk to you and work this out...and don't blame yourself! Please let us know how you are doing.
