I have been here a few years, but name changed as I'm embarrassed.
We had a great sex life when we met, but that was over a decade ago.
I would say the decline started when I was pregnant. After DD was about 6 months we got back into the swing of it and all was well.
We moved house, had a stressful year, DD kept waking in the night and our sex life just died.
We fell out after moving house and I was really hurt by DH's behaviour. I still don't see him in the same way just yet.
I find the lack of sex hard to deal with, it's over a month since we had sex now except one attempt when DH couldn't maintain an erection and it sounds horrible but I gave up in the end. It has happened a couple of times.
I feel like he finds me unattractive and just can't stomach sex with me. I have put on a stone since I stopped going to the gym last year, but with work and a child I never get the time. I feel shit about myself and just don't have the confidence to push having sex and getting it going.
I don't think there's anything physically wrong with DH, he can wank so clearly it isn't a problem orgasming with himself!
I don't know what to do. It makes it feel like I will spend my life in a sexless marriage. What should I do or try?
