So me and my partner of 4yrs nearly , I’ve never really had a high sex drive tbh where as he does every single night. I had come on my reds (sorry if too much detail) but after that had sec with him 2nights in a row then haven’t just had sex in 3 or 4 nights as been just so drained and stressed and it’s every single night all he talks about is having sx with me or dirty talks. He complained to me last night saying why don’t I want to have sex with him etc.. then went to sleep instead of watching the rest of this movie with me . Is it wrong of me not having intercourse with him them many nights or what because I don’t know anymore 🤷‍♀️

It's not wrong for you not to want more. It's okay for him to want more. It's not okay for him to pressure or punish you. Probalby means you're incompatible and this is not a relationship that will last.

He is being completely unreasonable. It is your body and down to you to decide when or not you may want that, and is unfair of him to put a lot of pressure on you for it. Regardless of where in your cycle you are.
Sex in a relationship should happen when both parties are comfortable with it.
I would consider moving on from this relationship if he isn't willing to understand and compromise on his sex drive, as the situation will only get worse.

It’s ok to have mismatched sex drives and discuss in a grown up way.

Its not ok for him to pressure you into sex just because it’s what he wants.

Tbh mismatched sex drives is one of the biggest reasons for a relationship failing so it really probably is just you’re not compatible

There will be times when one or other (or both) has more going on, or will be tired etc, so no it shouldn’t be an issue not to have sex and is a normal part of a relationship.

However, if your sex drives are completely incompatible long term that it may become an issue and can feel rejecting. But it seems like you are having sex at least a couple of times a week and so I don’t see that as a problem.

You should be able to both know there will be times when you won’t have sex, but be able to be intimate in other ways.

For example my partner and I will always have a cuddle and kiss if we watch TV and sometimes that’s more than enough to feel close.
