Hello all,
So, there are many facets to this issue.. not quite sure where to start and how much detail to go into. I'll do the best I can to give the basics and'll answer questions that I can answer.
Here's the deal.
I'm a 22 year old female. My boyfriend is about to be 36. We have been together for almost 2 years and, other than in the sex department, we are extremely happy. Talking about engagement and weddings and children and such.
When we first started going out, we had sex once or more times a day. This went on for a few months. One night we didn't have sex and that was a bit strange. Then it became normal. Then it was more like 4 times a week. Then 3. Then 2. You get the idea. Now I'm sitting here typing this after not having had sex in a month.
Our relationship does not lack communication whatsoever. This has been an ongoing issue that we have discussed several times. It is at the point where I feel if I discuss it more, things will get worse.
At first the explanation was that I nagged about sex too much. This I understood.. and worked on to fix. He recognized that I fixed it.. and yet the sex kept becoming more infrequent.
Second time around it was just me nagging in general. At the time of the talk we had a cockroach infestation and I admit.. I was going a bit crazy. It bothered me that he did not seem to care that hundreds of bugs were invading. Again, I cooled off. Again with the recognition.
At this point, it's just a "It's a phase."
Is age a factor? Is age THE factor? I would marry him even if we never had sex again; there's enough hugs and kisses. But I can't discount the fact that I enjoy sex and the stress relief it provides.
Thoughts, opinions, demands, questions, suggestions, complaints?
