My wife (32) and I (33M) have been together for 5 years and married for 2. We have 2 children, a toddler and one in elementary school. We both have full time jobs and have a pretty good balance in our marriage ( taking care of kids, splitting household chores, and we try our best to communicate clearly with each other ).
Like other relationships it started off on fire in the bedroom and the frequency has decreased over time. In the beginning of our relationship I’ve had a few mistakes. I never physically cheated but texted other women and this put a strain on us but we overcame it. Since then and especially after we married I’ve been focused on trying to be the best dad and husband I can be (staying fit, starting a small business, and just being more supportive/helpful overall).
The main issue with my marriage is that we only have sex 2-3 times a month and she never initiates it. A lot of times I will give a massage and try to get her in the mood, only for her to say she’s too tired or not in the mood. I’ve brought this up calmly with her several times and all I get is “ idk” or “ maybe I just don’t like sex that much “ . I wish I would see the effort on her end because I really need to feel wanted by my wife. The rejection really makes my confidence tank a bit to the point where I dread the point of initiating even though I’m extremely horny for her. I would never step outside of my marriage, I just don’t want to end up getting older and this to continue to decrease over time. Any suggestions or advice would be amazing.
