Hello,

Posting for advice, me and my partner have been together seven years we've a five year old ds, since having him my sex drive has really gone down, I've never been overly bothered about sex but now really can take it or leave it,

My partner is very much into sex and being intimate etc, he's great with our DS and does about 40/ 60 on housework and childcare outside of work hours, (he works full time I work part time)

I do love him and can see it hurts when I turn down his advances but I'm unable to change my sex drive, what would you do? Do you feel he'll reduce his sex drive or is our relationship potentially going to go south?

You need to talk to him, and get help together to understand why your sex drive has dropped and work to understand how you can change that. While maybe not having sex with him are you still intimate with him in other ways? Passionate kisses, touches etc?

If there is none of that it is likely he will become increasingly unhappy in the relationship and likely either end it or find someone else, especially if he perceives you are just ignoring the problem and just pushing him away.
