Mismatched sex drives

Can it ever work? I read so many theeads where it is a huge problem.

I have a high sex drive. DP does not. I love him, we have been together over a year and live together. He did the first few months but now.. No. It's just not a big thing to him, never has been. When he's tired he stops wanting it. When I'm tired I want more to connect and ground myself and feel good and sleep well. We both have stressful jobs, no DCs. It's the only single problem we have.

Do I try to just deal with it or cut my losses? I'm 28 if that matters. He's slightly younger.

I'm weirdly calm today. He knows he's fucked up. I know it's over.

I'm in a far better financial position than he is; I'll get him out the flat, he can't afford it alone and I can. In a way I'm relieved.

Thank you for support

Festering resentment can turn people very bitter and nasty, which sounds like this is what happened with him. Sounds like unless you two become two completel different people this will never work. Cut your losses, go find someone else with a higher sex drive that can satisfy you better.
