Partner lost libido

Hi MN first time poster.

As you can see in the heading my partner has lost her libido. We have been together now for 1 year she sheet started to lose her libido about 3 months ago now it is non existent. We do love each other kisses and hugs etc every day just no sex. I think the loss of libido is down to my partner not working we moved in with each other about 5 months ago. I work away every second week but when I am home we just love spending time together. I do try to initiate sex and try to seduce my partner but yet no response other than kisses and a I love you. I ensure I do my fair share of house work and love surprising my partner with candlelight dinners flowers baths so she has a chance to relax whilst I tidy up we do not have any children so it can’t be affecting us we are both 31. I don’t know what to do I am wondering if anyone on here can help.

I think communication is key; she may just need to have a chat about it. It could be something to do with her own self-confidence - her own self happiness.
I myself have gone through similar, where I had just lost all desire to have sex with my partner; I would get to a certain point then nothing.
It wasn't anything to do with my hubby or what I felt about him as he is a saint, I was just feeling stressed about multiple things.
He just sat me down one day and had a conversation about it, which made me realise that what I was going through and keeping to myself was then affecting him just as much as he thought I had fallen out of love with him.
We then just had to not put pressure on things and things just fell into place as they were before hand.
Just keep trying with conversations, get her to open up to you and hopefully things will get better. Smile

Did this coincide with her losing her job?
She could be depressed.
I think you need to talk, frankly and honestly with each other.
This is not sustainable as it is. Not for you anyway.
It wouldn't be for me either.

yeah you could be right. she does get a bit down at times and we talk everything through with one another no decision is made without the others approval regarding household job changes etc.
