I (25f) and my partner (28m) we have been together for almost 5 years now and engaged for the last 1 year. We met on Tinder and we hooked up together and there after we started dating 9 days later. Initially he was really sexually active and he would often come to my uni ( I have strict parents who had me on Life360) but we would always hook up in the toilet. Then 3 months later everything has slowed down and we have barely hooked up at all. But we still love each other. I moved interstate in 2021 so we didn’t see each other till March and now 7 months ago we are living together. We are really close and do all things a couple would do except sex and anything sexual. He was sick from last April onwards and still getting treated for TB so we didn’t have sex at all, and he always said he isn’t in the mood as he is sick, which I fully understood. But now he is lot better and now he says that he is not in the mood to have sex.. is this normal? Is it okay? Because I am really lost as to where our intimacy really stands and I feel this part of our life is just empty. Is there anything I can do to help him? Has anyone experienced this as well and did things get better? Any suggestions will be great please.
(Ps. Please don’t tell me to break up, because I really love him and he cares for me a lot too but yes sex and intimacy is definitely missing from our lives atm)
