Can a marriage survive it??
I have a high sex drive (5 times a week would be normal)and see sex as more of a physical act. I am very passionate, DH does not have a high sex drive at all and sees sex as a more meaningful act, he is not passionate and is actully quite content to go for weeks without.
We have discussed this for years (been together for 11) and it always seems to be the one factor that puts a strain on our relationship and comes up in arguments.
To be honest I have looked at other men because of it and do find that after a few drinks I consider doing things I shouldn't to fulfil my needs.
Our sex life is far from exciting and I would like to add abit/alot of zing. Again we have discussed this but it never gets any further than a discussion. We have just had our first baby who is 10 weeks old and we started to have sex again 4 weeks after he was born because I wanted to.
I really am beginning to wonder if this is going to make or break us. I do love my husband very much.
