First of all I love my partner. I fancy him, he makes me laugh, I think he's a good man. But right now I am totally miserable and I don't know how to fix it. I won't ramble on but basically:
We don't have sex. Ever. Once in the last 2.5 years. He says it's because he's so stressed he just doesn't think about it. Which makes me feel incredibly desirable, as you can imagine. For a long time I wasn't interested as was so sleep deprived but now that things have settled down I want a normal relationship. Or rather, I want our relationship to have a physical side to it.
I am desperate for another baby (we have a two-year-old daugther), he is adamant he doesn't want one. That's kind of a big deal and I don't know how we get round it.
I think he's probably depressed due to work and life stresses. He is always anxious because of work. I keep my issues to myself because I don't want to burden him. But how long can this go on for?
I think we probably need to see a relationship counsellor but we can't afford it right now.
I just don't know what to do and how to fix it. We're both rubbish at communicating. I feel so low so often because of this. I don't want to leave him but I don't want to waste my life with someone who doesn't really want me.
