It's pretty common for couples to have differing sex-drives and it's very important to keep talking and showing each other respect and affection until you find a happy compromise. Otherwise the danger is that one person feels under pressure to 'perform' and the other feels rejected.

You sound rather insecure about the relationship however. If you think not having sex for a week means he doesn't fancy you, maybe there are some self-esteem issues you need to work on at the same time?

I would try and talk to him.

This is very common, I am now almost 28 but when I was between 21-24 me and DH had half the sex we do now - people joke about married couples not having sex but we laugh that we are the opposite.

The point I'm trying to say is that don't think that it will stay this way - you have to do something about it but it can definitely turn around for you. It might be a deeper problem with him, work, stress, money worries etc?
