Hi all, My husband and I (both 30) been married 6 months, together 1.5 years before that but long distance. He presented himself as someone with high libido. We’ve been averaging once a week since we got married and I moved in with him. I had a few talks about it with him and he said his new job just constantly has him drained. He does work a lot, but I’m a bit hurt because it gets to my self esteem. All my previous partners were ‘obsessed’ with me. My ex and I had sex almost daily. So this is making me wonder if something is wrong? Is this normal? How can I get him to want to have more sex with me? I always flirt with him, I cook for him most nights, and I stopped bringing this issue up for almost a month now because he said talking about it adds more pressure and makes him feel inadequate. He also mentioned that the stress from his job is lowering his libido, some days he goes for hours without even eating and he believes that lowers his testosterone. He doesn’t really always respond to any of my advances. He said he doesn’t really care for lingerie either so I don’t know what else I could do spice things up. I’ve tried a few things and I don’t know why we’re having this issue so early on. submitted by /u/justheretotalk111
