Coming back from lack of intimacy?

[RaindropsANDpuddles]

DP and I have been together a long time and sex has never been a big feature. I was overweight at start of relationship and have major body confidence issues, which has impacted this side of our relationship. Now working on this, both physically by dieting and exercise, but more importantly working on my confidence & self esteem.

Does anyone have similar experience and any positive outcomes. Not sure if we can come back from this. On verge of splitting up, but the rest of the relationship is good.

I'll be following with interest.

sorry, posted too soon. I'm in the same boat but in reverse. I was thin but am now fat with no self confidence in the bedroom. It's made life difficult for years, but recently I thought things were getting better.
After DH not being bothered to finish recently after I initiated sex, I'm back to square one.

It can if you are both willing to make an effort to agree boundaries, expectations, perhaps too, how you'll both know you're making progress.

I approached a sexless marriage in this way, unfortunately ex didn't. No detail, no commitment to actions, no interest.

It's not without its risks but definitely worth trying x
