My partner

It's so frustrating, Iv been engaged for 4 years now. I feel envy with other couples who seem to get married really quick. However my partner isn't interested in booking or looking at anything- he claims it's "my wedding"
Sex has become a chore for him- it's effecting my mental health and self esteem. He's come off his anti depressants to try and bring his sex drive back. But still no improvement.

Have you saved money for "your wedding"?

If so I would skip marrying this person, and go straight to booking "your honeymoon" for yourself only. You never know, you might meet someone absolutely wonderful.

It sounds like your relationship here has run it's course.

What conversations have you had with him regarding this?

Is it you who pushed to get engaged or was it a joint idea?

Also how old are you both?

Don’t marry him

Forget marriage.
Hopefully you don’t have children with him.

Why did he get engaged to you if he’s not bothered by getting married? If it’ll be your wedding will it also be your marriage and he’ll be a reluctant participant?

What conversations have you had about your sex issue?

If you’re unhappy, you don’t need a reason anyone else approves as reason enough. You can leave if it’s not working for you. You’ll find life less hard work if you’re not with someone who’s sapping your energy and ruining your self esteem.

Why do you want to marry him? I would say you dodged a bullet there. He's not right for you now, what's it going to be like if you marry? No sex ?? That's just not right
