Hello, I have been with my partner 6 years, and I have two children from a previous relationship. We keep having the same issues cropping up again and again and I feel like we can’t resolve them. His main issue is that we don’t have enough sex...in all honesty, I’m happy with having it once a week. I work full time and I am also studying, and after coming home and having to cook, tidy up, deal with my kids, all I want to do is go to bed and sleep at the end of the night! I just don’t feel bothered or excited anymore, it’s just the same as it always is. I am also on antidepressants which massively affect me sexually. My partner knows all of this but I don’t feel he does much to help matters. He hardly helps out around the house or cooks, and I am tired of his lack of physical support. We even tried putting together a cleaning rota (ridiculous that we even had to do this!) but that lasted less than a week. He’ll help if I ask him, but rarely will he do anything going off of his own initiative. Never has he turned around and said ‘you’re exhausted, I’ll cook tonight’ or offered to help clean. He’ll wash up if I cook, but that’s as far as it goes. We do our own washing as I feel that I do enough around the house! I think all of this has had a knock on effect on how I also feel sexually. I don’t feel any passion or excitement anymore. During this lockdown I have been working from home, supporting my kids with home schooling, working late into the night and falling asleep on the sofa with my laptop most nights, and my partner had the audacity to accuse me of avoiding going to bed with him, whilst also complaining that we haven’t spent much time together recently. This massively offended me as he has done nothing to help me other than listen to me vent about how I’ve been stressed etc. I’m tired of going round in circles and feeling unsupported. He decided over the weekend that he wants some time apart so we can reflect and decide if we can come to a solution, but I’m not sure we can anymore. Can we move forward from all of this? Is it that uncommon to only have sex once a week?!
